Io di tennis capisco poco,molto poco (talmente poco da aver giocato Youzny ieri..)
ma ho trovato questa listi di giocatori con il famigerato virus di Indian Wells...
Chi avrà  ancora il cag8??
Boh

Dr Sam Reber gave an interview stating:
"There's been 11 players so far (Indian Wells) in the tournament that have complained of that, varying in severity. Some have been able to continue playing, and some have had symptoms that have forced them to withdraw.

This appears to be a flu-related illness, not any food-related illness. It's presenting in multiple players over multiple days, not one single event. It seems to be relatively short-lived. They have their symptoms that seem to disappear within about 24 hours and then they are left with a weakness after that, but recover fairly quickly."

In my opinion it appears this virus coupled with the extreme heat and humidity is still affecting players performance at Miami.

Also, although I'm not a doctor, I believe these 24 hour viruses can only be caught once. If anyone can back me up here feel free.
