Unexpected Early Exit for Karolína Plíšková

NEW YORK—It wasn’t the kind of three-pointer one expects in professional sports.

Karolína Plíšková, a former US Open finalist, retired in her second-round match against Jasmine Paolini after a mere three points on the scoreboard.

Match Recap

  • First point lost by Paolini due to a backhand error.
  • Plíšková hit a miss to equalize.
  • Paolini won the next point with a solid forehand winner.

As Plíšková attempted to retrieve Paolini’s shot, she injured her left ankle, leading to a dramatic withdrawal.

This unfortunate incident parallels Aaron Rodgers' season start with the New York Jets, which ended abruptly due to injury just minutes into play.

With a rare 0-0 (ret.) score registered, Paolini advances to face the 30th seed, Yulia Putintseva, in her next match.
