A wildcard tennis player's performance has left social media users wondering if she had ever played before entering a professional tournament with a $30,000 (£22,000) prize. Egyptian player Hajar Abdelkader, 21, went up against German opponent Lorena Schaedel, 25, at the W35 event in Nairobi, part of the Women’s World Tennis Tour. “At the time, Ms Abdelkader was the only other player who had requested a wildcard,” the organisers said, adding that it was granted "in the interest of maintaining a full and balanced draw while supporting the development of tennis in Africa."
