"They running from Iga" - Tennis fans react as yet another of Iga Swiatek's opponents withdraws from match-up in Dubai

Tennis fans had a field day with the news of Czech player Karolina Pliskova withdrawing from the 2023 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships before her quarterfinal match against Polish star Iga Swiatek.Swiatek's dominant performances over the past year have garnered everyone's attention. She powered through to the title at the 2023 Qatar TotalEnergies Open last week without dropping a set.With Pliskova's withdrawal, fans are drawing parallels to the Qatar Open, where Switzerland's Belinda Bencic also withdrew before her quarterfinal match against Swiatek.Sports journalist Reem Abulleil took to Twitter to share the news of Pliskova's withdrawal.&quot;Karolina Pliskova has withdrawn from @DDFTennis with a viral illness. Iga Swiatek receives a walkover into the semi-finals where she will face Madison Keys or Coco Gauff,&quot; Abulleil tweeted.This incited varied reactions from fans as they speculated whether Pliskova's illness was genuine and joked that she did not want to bear the brunt of the Pole's ruthless game. They also joked that Pliskova did not want to be double bagelled, reminiscing about the 2021 Rome Masters final where Swiatek defeated Pliskova 6-0, 6-0 in the summit clash.Below are some of the fans' reactions to Pliskova's withdrawal:🧑&zwj;🌾🛸@butterflierershe didn't wanna get double bagelled again honestly relatable queen i cant even be mad twitter.com/ReemAbulleil/s…Reem Abulleil@ReemAbulleilKarolina Pliskova has withdrawn from @DDFTennis with a viral illness.
