The news was announced late Sunday afternoon by the player on her Facebook page.

The Frenchwoman had to forfeit the World Padel Tour Barcelona Master following a positive result for Covid-19.

Post FB Melissa Martin Covid19

As she stated in her post, Melissa Martin is a victim of the virus and its symptoms.
This is why she was forced not to play in the Catalan capital this week and thus give up this great competition.

The question we can ask ourselves would be: will she still be able to participate in the tournament? P2000 of the Pyramids this weekend?

We wish her a very good recovery and hope to see her again very soon on the slopes of padel.
