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.’

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
