French Open player retires after tripping on advertising board

Zeynep Sonmez retired from her doubles match at the 2026 French Open on Friday after tripping over an advertising board on court. The 24-year-old Turkish player injured her knee, shin and ankle during the incident.

Sonmez and her partner Tatjana Maria were facing Dayana Yastremska and Anhelina Kalinina on Court 6. The Ukrainian pair led 2-0 in the first set when Sonmez fell while chasing a ball. Medical staff attended to her immediately, and she withdrew from the match shortly after a physio visit, handing her opponents a walkover.
