The one great equalizer in this world? Some might say death, and others taxes. I say it's diarrhea. You could be LeBron James, Aaron Judge, Messi, I don't care who, there's not much resistance a human can have for that cruel punishment, especially while playing sports.

 You acquire diarrhea and you're left helpless out in the world. If it's really bad it's tough to even have a normal conversation or sit in for a meeting. Now try playing a one on one sport that involves running around and jumping. That's unfortunately what happened to world no. 10 Felix Auger Aliassime yesterday during this first round match at the French Open. 

Talk about trying to conquer a different kind of deuce on the court, thank you. At least during team sports you can have a teammate pick you up if you really have the shits, see Paul Pierce. Tennis though? You're out on an island by yourself with very limited bathroom breaks. Imagine having to try and serve when every little sharp movement could result in the escape of your bowels? Legitimate nightmare fuel. 

Felix was already known for being a bit of a choke artist when it counts most, but factor in diarrhea and he had no shot out there. 

It's no wonder he was a relatively small favorite against a guy who he should normally handle easily in Fabio Fognini. He wasn't the fittest of athletes entering the tournament with his hammy injury, but do we think Vegas got word about the poop situation and dropped the line even further? Felix normally would be at least -800 maybe even -1000 in that kind of opening match. He was -275 yesterday. These are the things gamblers at home need to know. Imagine knowingly betting on a dude who is dealing with constant diarrhea? French food, man. Simply can't trust it.
