Both the Shanghai and the Beijing tennis tournaments have been marred by illness, withdrawals, upsets, and players collapsing or experiencing severe physical distress on court. The hot and humid weather of Shanghai has been highlighted in particular (discussed this more on X/Twitter)

SARS-CoV-2 is airborne. It spreads and can linger in the air, a bit like cigarette smoke. High quality masks/respirators are critical to prevent infection from this dangerous SARS virus and other airborne pathogens

Medjedovic suffered from multiple health setbacks during his match, taking several medical timeouts (up to fourteen minutes of interruptions in total) from apparent injuries to malaise, before withdrawing. Comesana collapsed on court, possibly because of the heat
