All indications are that it's heat related. It's unclear what hospital she was taken to, but common sense suggests Flushing Hospital or NYHQ. |

The patient has a right to be transported to the hospital of their choice within the vehiicle's coverage area - - as long as that hospital will be able to accept new patients to ER (which is 99 percent of the time under normal circumstances.). |

It was about 95 degrees. After I ran from 2nd base to home I felt dizzy. I had to drink Vitamin Water so I wouldn't pass out. |

According to something i read today, she had slipped and hit her head before the match and had a slight concussion. She said she was feeling dizzy from the onset. Under those circumstances, the exertion under that heat probably finished her off.As for the black clothing, these are some of the most fit athletes in the world. It really doesn't make a difference at this level. For top female athletes, money from endorsments related to on-court fashion plays a very important role in their finances, especially for ones that are pleasing to the eye like Ms Azarenka.
