Turkish tennis player Zeynep Sonmez has withdrawn from the French Open (Roland Garros) women’s doubles competition following an injury sustained during her second-round match in Paris.
Sonmez, partnering with Germany’s Tatjana Maria, was competing against Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina and Dayana Yastremska when the incident occurred.
While trailing 2–0 in the opening set, the 24-year-old attempted to chase down a shot but tripped over a courtside advertising board and fell to the ground.
Medical personnel promptly attended to the player on court. Following the evaluation, Sonmez was deemed unable to continue the match and subsequently retired, bringing an early end to the pair’s campaign in the tournament.
The withdrawal follows her earlier exit from the singles draw, where she was eliminated in the first round.
