British Tennis Player Fran Jones Collapses During Colsanitas Cup Match

Jones, who has a rare genetic condition, withdrew after collapsing in the third set, highlighting the physical toll of her demanding schedule.

Fran Jones collapsed during the third set of her round of 32 match against Julia Riera at the Colsanitas Cup in Bogota and was removed from the court in a wheelchair.
The 24-year-old British player, born with the rare genetic condition Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia, has faced recurring physical challenges throughout her career.
This marks the 19th time Jones has retired mid-match in her career, and the second time in 2025, underscoring her ongoing health battles.
Her recent tournament victory in Brazil and the quick turnaround to compete at high altitude in Bogota may have contributed to her physical struggles.
Julia Riera advanced to the round of 16, where she will face American player Iva Jovic, as Jones recovers from the incident.
