At the beginning of December, Turkish tennis pro Altug Celikbilek collapsed at an ITF tournament in Tunisia and underwent emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage. Now his girlfriend has announced that a tumor had to be removed during a second operation.

"I believe, and we all believe, that you will wake up and be the crazy, funny, annoying, active, caring and loving kid you always were. It breaks my heart not to be able to be with you, hold your hand, lie in your arms and comfort you," wrote Belgian tennis player Eliessa Vanlangendonck on Instagram.

Safak Müderrisgil, the president of the Turkish Tennis Federation, confirmed in national media that Celikbilek had had a benign brain tumor removed and that the operation had been successful.
