Learner Tien Posts Hospital Photo After Wimbledon Stomach Issue

The image shows him on an IV with visible takeaway food, leaving his fitness for the North American hard‑court swing dependent on medical clearance.

Overview

  • Tien suffered a suspected stomach problem and took a medical timeout during his second‑round match against Marton Fucsovics on Wednesday, losing in four sets, 6-7(6-8), 6-4, 7-6(7-4), 6-3.
  • Hours after the match he shared a photo from a hospital bed that shows him hooked up to an IV.
  • A large McDonald’s takeaway is visible on the bedside table in the image and tabloid coverage used that to suggest the illness may not have been severe.
  • There is no public medical statement in the reports and Tien is expected to seek medical clearance before committing to the upcoming North American hard‑court swing.
  • The episode ends his grass season early and is a setback for the 20‑year‑old prospect who reached the Australian Open quarter‑finals earlier this year and will need time to recover before the US hard‑court events.
