Learner Tien wasn’t lovin’ it at Wimbledon on Wednesday afternoon.
Going through Marton Fucsovics within the second spherical, Tien was clearly coping with some kind of abdomen ailment all through the match. There have been a number of medical timeouts, his motion was poor, and he was hunched over in between factors all through the third and fourth units. The 20-year-old even requested for bread throughout one changeover — a request that was granted within the type of many humongous items.
Enchancment in his bodily state didn’t come, nevertheless, and the bodily struggles finally value him a professional probability at successful. Fucsovics prevailed 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-3. Bizarrely, the Hungarian celebrated like he had received all the match — if not even the Calendar-Yr Grand Slam. Flexing of biceps, rolling round on the bottom…the entire shebang.
However the story didn’t finish with Fucsovics appearing like a hooligan. It ended with Tien within the hospital — presumably receiving IVs.
Though you would possibly affiliate a hospital room with dangerous information, that’s the place the American’s day improved dramatically. And that’s as a result of Tien — clearly feeling a lot better at this level — loved the comforts of a large, MASSIVE meal courtesy of the Golden Arches. From the picture he posted on Instagram, his McDonald’s meal appeared to incorporate three double-cheeseburgers, 40 hen McNuggets, a hen sandwich, french fries, and a McFlurry.
Tien could have misplaced within the tennis match, however he’s nonetheless successful at life. And as a giant fan of the best restaurant on this planet myself, I now have now alternative however to be an enormous Tien supporter for the rest of his profession!
