Swedish tennis player Elias Ymer was forced to retire from his opening-round match at the Zhangjiagang Challenger in China after collapsing twice on court.

Ymer was facing Taiwan’s Hsu Yu-hsiou, having lost the first set 7–6. He was serving at 5–3 in the second when he suddenly went down. After briefly getting back up, he collapsed again, prompting medical staff to rush onto the court.

Following medical attention, Ymer attempted to continue, but was unable to finish the match and retired at 5–5, with Hsu advancing after a 7–6(4), 5–5 RET. result.

The ATP reported that nausea was behind Ymer's physical problems, with the extreme weather and high humidity also believed to have contributed to his exhaustion.

The priority now is Ymer's wellbeing as fans await further updates on his condition.

Wishing Elias Ymer a full and speedy recovery. 🎾🙏
