Tennis is one of the hardest sports on an athlete’s physique. Over the course of two weeks a player may get blisters, cramps, torn muscle groups and rolled ankles but nonetheless play on irrespective of the pain.
During the second round of the U.S. Open, Dan Evans had a trainer come out for a purpose that we have not heard earlier than. He was struggling with nipple chaffing.
Evans, the consensus No.2 participant in Britain behind Andy Murray, was enjoying Australian Bernard Tomic when he referred to as the trainer out because he was fighting something that sounds like a Triathlon damage, ultimately putting tape over his, umm, injured area.
Evans, a qualifier at this event, went on to upset Tomic and advance to the third round, and as Chris Chase pointed out over at USA At this time, earned as much money at this event even when he loses in the third spherical as he ever has in a singles occasion, however nonetheless, nipple chaffing? That’s going to earn you a bit of ribbing from your fellow professional tennis gamers.
Murray was the first, taking to Twitter to let Evans know precisely what he thought of that medical timeout, and the 23-year-old even stated after his match he understood that some mocking would be coming his method.
“I’m gonna get numerous stick for that,” Evans stated, “but it was so painful I needed to do it.”
I guess if it continues to be an issue Evans can take the advice from Kevin Spacey’s character on “Horrible Bosses.”
“Life is a marathon and you can not win a marathon without putting just a few bandaids in your nipples.”
Evans faces Tommy Robredo on Saturday for a spot within the fourth round.
