 Thats such a shame and so sad to see this happen to her. I hope they can find a cure for long Covid one day soon.

Tanysha, if you're reading this, I always enjoyed watching you play, you had a fluidity about your game, and a fight, that was really attractive.
Wishing you all the best in the next period of your life.

 Post viral fatigue, with its extreme versions of ME and long Covid, has been around for a long long time and it seems that it's not really understood let alone finding a cure apart from time and rest. I get PVF and was a good 6 months from having Covid before I got my energy levels anywhere near normal. Such a shame for Tanysha that it has ended her tennis career.

 It's awful, my Son had something similar, triggered we believe by Lyme, took 5 years to recover.  Rest, diet etc. I'd like to think that in a year or two she will be in a position to reassess.  The only positive I can see from Covid is that PVF is finally taken seriously.

ETA Lyme is bacterial but still has the same impact afterwards.  These viruses and bacteria appear to do something to the body to enable their survival. The lyme appeared to switch off my Sons vitamin d receptors and therefore weakened his immune system enabling it to take hold. That's my theory anyway

Looks like Djoko will get to play the AO in 2023. Which I think now is the right call, the world has moved on.

Story breaking on Twitter (sorry cant seem to copy link) that Giorgi asked for and got fake Covid vaccine statements to say she was vaccinated when she wasnt - and get entry to countries and tournies etc.

Could be a big story

A little bit of an update from Tanysha in this article. Sadly, still severely affected by long covid.

This just brings huge tears to me eyes

(Not the shutting of the app - honestly, I think track and trace was dreadfully mishandled in this country)

But I've chatted to Tanysha, her family, her brother...

She's a lovely girl, as well as a very talented tennis player

And to hear about her current state of health is just heart-breaking

I wish her the very best

Long COVID patient Tanysha Dissanayake has told Sky News that she lost her identity and independence as she struggles to fully recover from her illness
Tanysha lists all the tragic effects long covid has had on her heart, lungs, liver, uterus and brain, as well as the emotional effects. So very sad.
