Bad news coming from the WTA 1000 in Doha. Within a few minutes, Emma Raducanu and Amanda Anisimova (the defending champion) were forced to retire from their respective matches against Camila Osorio and Karolína Plíšková. Both players were losing in the third set, but their bodies couldn't continue. Raducanu had just played the final of the Cluj-Napoca tournament 48 hours ago, while Anisimova will drop out of the top 5 in the rankings after losing the points she was defending as a champion.
Never the result you want to see 💔
