British Tennis Player Fran Jones Withdraws From Colsanitas Cup After On-Court Collapse

Jones, who has a rare genetic condition, collapsed during her match in Bogota, raising concerns about the physical toll of professional tennis.

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 British player officially retired from the match due to a physical issue, as confirmed by the tournament's organizers.
Jones' recent quick turnaround after winning her eighth career title in Brazil and playing at altitude in Bogota may have contributed to her physical strain.
This marks the 19th time in her career and the second time this year that Jones has retired mid-match, highlighting the challenges posed by her rare genetic condition, Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia.
Julia Riera advanced to the round of 16 following Jones' withdrawal and will face Iva Jovic next.
