What happened to John Millman? Eye injury explained
John is suffering a scratched cornea and eye inflammation from a freak on-court accident.
On Wednesday, while playing American Marcos Giron in Acapulco, Millman attempted to block an incoming tennis ball behind him to the ball kid when it flicked up and hit him in the right eye.
The No.80-ranked Australian immediately dropped to the court and clutched his eye.
He left the match soon after, trailing Giron by a set and 2-0, just a week after regaining form with a semi-final appearance at the Delray Beach Open.
Millman stated in an interview “It was just a super unfortunate accident. The ball didn’t hit me hard, but as I went to flick it to the ball kid, with my back turned, it hit the frame as I was turning around,”
