The bizarre situation occurred in the third game of the second set, when the Australian lost 6: 7 and 0: 2. Giron ruined the first serve and Millman wanted to return the ball, nothing special. But the tennis ball struck unhappily by hitting himself in the eye.
The Australian kept his face, hid the wounded place and collapsed on the court with a painful grimace. He then asked for treatment. He then tried to continue the match, but apparently he had blurred vision, so he missed the match. The American Giron advanced to the second round of the tournament in Mexico. In it, he defeated the Spaniard Carren-Bust and now the Greek Tsitsipas awaits him.
Millman’s unfortunate intervention caused a stir in the sports world. “This is probably the strangest injury I’ve ever seen on the court,” said Scott Reichel, a sports betting expert.
