in

British tennis player Francesca Jones shocked the world during her match against Colombia’s Julia Riera when she collapsed on court just before the final set. With Riera leading the match (6-2, 5-7, 5-3), Jones was preparing to serve but was seen struggling and falling onto the court, as captured in a video that quickly spread across social media, raising concerns about her health. Shortly afterward, she regained consciousness and was transported off the court in a wheelchair, abandoning her match at the Bogotá tournament. It is worth noting that Jones has struggled in the past to complete matches due to various challenges. Throughout her career, she has battled a genetic condition that affects her hands and feet—she has four fingers on each hand and seven toes in total. The incident drew widespread concern, with many wishing for her swift recovery. A message from the tournament’s social media account stated, ‘We wish the British tennis player a quick return.’
