British tennis player fainted during WTA match: details of the incident.

During the WTA 250 tournament in Bogotá, British tennis player Fran Jones fainted during a match against Argentinean Julia Riera and was forced to withdraw from the competition. The incident occurred in the third set with a score of 2:6, 7:5, 3:5. Jones was unable to serve, collapsed, and was urgently taken off the court in a wheelchair.

Experts explain that this happened due to the altitude of Bogotá - 2640 meters above sea level, which can lead to difficulties in the body's adaptation.

Fran Jones is ranked 129th in the WTA rankings. She also has a rare genetic condition - the absence of one finger on her hands and a total of 7 fingers on her feet.

This is not the first Time Jones has had to withdraw from a tournament early due to health issues. Throughout her career, she has already stopped participating in matches 19 times.
