Gorst forfeited mid match I'm hearing now on the commentary on youtube. He was feeling super sick, about ready to pass out, and was taken back to his hotel. Jeremy saying he didn't think it was heat related.

stiff contest, svb v mickey. 5-5
Shane pushed the boat out on that shot
corteza, duong and garcia are the biggest surprise losers so far (not counting fedor). don't recognize any of the names of the match winners.
mickey on the hill, 9-7, but shane is in control
looking like hill-hill and advantage svb

Just a guess on my part, but I'm thinking a food poisoning-type sickness. But this is the time of year for flu. Being in close contact with hundreds of people can be an easy place to catch the flu.
I thought that was the most obvious explanation. Instead the commentators implied he was being "petulant". Come on -- Fedor is possibly the most professional player on the planet. There was zero chance he wasn't ill. I knew something was off when he was using that fan while in the chair.
i've seen other players with battery-powered fans.. that's on the promoter really, to have better climate control in the room. its effect on the tv table is also notable, and especially the lower rail. do better, MR.
Yes, it also sounds like hyperthyroidism
The commentators didn't accuse Fedor of petulance. One of them raised the possibility but he and Jeremy Jones then shot the notion down. They were just puzzled, but leaned toward the view he was probably sick. They noticed the fan, too.
Shocking that the building didn't have better AC.
Clearly, Fedor has to manage his condition better. And that means not being outside in those conditions as much.

Styer was playing great. Up 7-3 vs big Ko. Then a lapse or two and Ko played great. Went up 8-7 and won 10-8. A shame. Styer was playing fantastic but just can't seem to close the deal.
