Diogo Portela was comfortably beaten last night in Graz and it appears there was more to it than just a bad day at the office.
Portela revealed afterwards that he was suffering from a bout of food poisoning and only played due to seeing fans who were specifically there for him.
As a result he spent the night in hospital and this morning was told he could go home.
He said the following on Twitter after his match against Searle.
‘I didn’t want to play today. I got food poisoning just after the lunch and in about 4-5 hours I got sick 5 times.’
’But I saw a few fans that had come down just to support me and I couldn’t let them down.’

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
