Former world number one injured – after six minutes

Six minutes was all it took. Then, the former world number one Karolina Pliskova was forced to throw in the towel.

It was in the second round of the US Open in tennis that the Czech was forced to retire due to an ankle injury. The victory thus went to her opponent Jasmine Paolini from Italy.

I hope she recovers soon, it's sad to see her leave the court like this, says Paolini.
