What has happened to Karolina Pliskova in this 2024 US Open is quite unusual, as evidenced by the fact that it has only occurred four times before during the Open Era. It's hard to recall players retiring from matches in these major events during the first game, as happened to the Czech player. The most recent precedent was from the 2008 Australian Open, when Petkovic left the court against Chakvetadze just minutes after the start.

📊 They were forced to retire before the end of the first game in a singles match at a Grand Slam (Open Era):
🇺🇸 Chico Hagey vs Goven (US 1972)
🇨🇿 Jan Hernych vs Youzhny (RG 2007)
🇩🇪 Andrea Petkovic vs Chakvetadze (AO 2008)
🇨🇿 Karolina Pliskova vs Paolini (US 2024 🆕) https://t.co/Domk2BMyxY
