Peng Shuai<\/a> \u5f6d\u5e05 was towed off court in a wheelchair in her semifinal match against Caroline Wozniacki. Many media covered this event:\u00a0NYT<\/a>,\u00a0USA Today<\/a>, SB Nation<\/a>,\u00a0the Guardian<\/a>\u00a0and ESPN<\/a> when Mary Jo Fernandez said in this video that<\/p>\n

  1. the rule pertaining to illness\u00a0allows evaluation\u00a0on and off the court<\/li>\n
  2. Peng wants to return to the court and doctor said she\u00a0would not be in danger<\/li>\n
  3. In my opinion, you have\u00a0cramps, injury\u00a0or suffering from the heat, you should not be allowed to finish the game which you interrupted. Its very disruptive for your opponent.<\/li>\n
  4. however, I do believe that if the doctor gives you the ok, you can come back out and finish the match<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    #3 and #4 are a little conflicted.<\/p>\n

    The women semi final match of US Open 2014 would be remembered by the painful facial expression of Peng Shuai;\u00a0the hot pink outfit;\u00a0the unheard of long time out;\u00a0her\u00a0crumbled\/succumb to the ground and ultimately the wheelchair.<\/p>\n

    I have never seen any tennis player had taken out a medical time out for this long. Wondering why did US Open allowed Peng such long break time and was it fair to Wozniacki? The match was really tight and enjoyable. I must say Wozniacki was extremely gracious on the face of long time out. She did not complain, just patiently wait, or practiced her serves. It’s Peng’s first grand slam simi final and couldn’t blame her for not wanting to lessen up her claws\u00a0without a last fight. I remembered at one match, Andy Roddick hurt his ankle (or knee) but did not want to quit. His coach almost leaped into the court\u00a0– he\u00a0stood up and both arms crossed a few time, telling the young and wide eyes Roddick\u00a0to retire.<\/p>\n

    Playing with pain is routine.<\/p>\n
