TENNIS PLAYER COMPETES HOURS AFTER HAND SURGERY
WITH VID
By Divij Mayer
A jaw-dropping video shows a determined French tennis player refusing to let an injury or even surgery stop her from competing.
Flavia Scata from France was filmed after she underwent hand surgery in the morning but still chose to play in a tournament that same afternoon.
She had recently been knocked off her bike, leaving her unable to use both hands for her usual two-handed backhand.
The clip shows her adapting mid-match, playing with just one hand as she fights through the challenge.
One user commented: “And my coach says to stick my left arm out to track the ball. imagine losing to someone who just had surgery.”
Another added: “Jesus, let your body heal. You’re not up for a medal. Lord”
