Coco Gauff overcame a dramatic on-court illness, vomiting during her Madrid Open match, to secure a remarkable victory, as a stomach virus appears to be circulating among players.
The American third seed, who was a set and a break down against Romania’s Sorana Cirstea, had to rush off court to be sick during the second set. This incident follows Iga Swiatek's withdrawal from the tournament, with the Pole revealing a stomach virus was affecting players in the locker room. Swiatek retired during the third set of her third-round match against Ann Li.
