A professional tennis player has a brain bleed while playing and is quickly taken to the hospital.

Professional tennis player Altug Celikbilek suffered a major health scare on the court during his semi-final match at the M15 Monastir 2024 Tennis Tournament. The Turkish athlete, who is currently ranked No. 451 in the world, collapsed after playing the first game of his match against Yanki Erel. It was reported that Celikbilek had suffered a brain haemorrhage and was quickly taken to the hospital for immediate medical attention.

According to sources, Celikbilek's brain haemorrhage was a serious one, and he is currently being evaluated for transportation to his home country of Turkey for surgery. The Turkish Tennis Federation released a statement expressing their concern for their national athlete and ensuring that all necessary support is being provided to him and his family. They also requested for prayers and well wishes for Celikbilek's speedy recovery.

Ipek Senoglu, a retired Turkish tennis player, has been providing updates on Celikbilek's condition through social media. She shared that he had undergone surgery for the brain haemorrhage and the scan had come back clean. However, his recovery and how he wakes up from the surgery are critical. Senoglu also mentioned that Celikbilek's family and friends, along with his former club Enka, are by his side, providing him with love and support.

In her latest update, Senoglu shared some positive news. The doctor examined Celikbilek and gave him good news. His mother is now by his side, and they are able to talk a little bit. The athlete will undergo more tests and check-ups, and hopefully, more good news will come from them.

Unfortunately, Celikbilek was unable to continue his match after his mid-game collapse. His opponent Erel went on to win the tournament and dedicated his victory to his fellow Turkish player. Celikbilek's highest ranking in his career is No. 154, achieved in February 2022. He has won two ATP Challenger titles and six ITF singles trophies.

The tennis community is sending their love and support to Celikbilek during this difficult time. Everyone is hoping for a full and speedy recovery for the talented athlete.
