The tennis player Marie Bouzkova (69th in the world) gave positive to the coronavirus test and will not be able to continue participating in Roland Garros, the second Grand Slam of the season. She had to face the second round in singles and the first phase of doubles, in the company of the Spanish Aliona Bolsova.
The Czech, who in her debut eliminated Anastasia Gasanova with partials of 6-2 and 6-1, was measured this Wednesday with Elise Mertens, current 32nd in the ranking (former number 12). In this way, without playing, the Belgian settled in the third wheel of Paris.
The news was communicated by Bouzkova herself through her social networks: “Hello everyone, unfortunately, today I tested positive for Covid for the first time, so I am retiring from both singles and doubles. I hope to start feeling better soon and get back on the court. Thank you for your support always!“, wrote.
