It was the Round of 16 matches at the US Open and we had Spanish tennis player Garbine Muguruza take on Barbora Krejcikova. It was a close match and the eventual winner was the Czech player who won the match 6-3 7-6(4).
However, during the match, Barbora Krejcikova took a medical time out when her opponent was cruising in the match. Once the match resumed, the momentum shifted and the Czech star took control of the match from Garbine Muguruza.

The French Open champion spoke on this and stated, “Garbine started to raise her level and I was expecting that. In the end, I was really struggling and I feel really bad right now. I don’t really know what happened but I couldn’t breathe. I started to feel dizzy and the whole world was shaking. It never happened to me before. I just gave my all at the end. It’s tough because it was my first time on such a big court playing the night session and I was really having fun until then.”
