Slovenian tennis player Dalila Jakupovic was forced to abandon her Australian Open qualifying match in Melbourne, Australia, after she broke into a coughing fit caused by poor air quality in the city.
Massive bushfires across the state of Victoria have created huge plumes of smoke that have blanketed Melbourne for weeks. On Tuesday, the air quality in parts of Melbourne and people were urged to stay indoors.

The smoke was so bad on Tuesday afternoon due to dangerous air. However, they resumed shortly after.

During her match against Swiss player Stefanie Vogele, 28-year-old Jakupovic was forced to abandon the game after she fell to her knees due to an apparent coughing fit. She was escorted from the court and the game was called off.

She said afterwards that it was "not fair" that she had to play. I have to disagree. Both players (all players) are playing in the same conditions. It's unfortunate, but certainly not an issue of fairness.
