Coughing fit sees player quit Australian Open qualifying

MELBOURNE - A player collapsed in a coughing fit and retired from Australian Open qualifying on Tuesday as organizers faced a storm of criticism for plowing ahead with matches despite bushfire smoke plunging Melbourne’s air quality to “hazardous” levels.

“I was scared that I would collapse. That’s why I went on the floor because I couldn’t walk any more. When I was on the ground it was easier to get some air.” The pollution prompted warnings from Victoria state’s environment watchdog for people to stay indoors, bring pets inside and shut windows. “When we find doctors who say that playing at 45 degrees is not dangerous at the AO and referees who say that the wet grass is not slippery at Wimbledon, we must be able to find an expert who certifies that the air quality is sufficient right?”
