Is there any point where a doctor will step in and forbid a player from playing or is it always up to the player? Peeing blood sounds kind of scary.

There's no real system like this, as the player is ultimately responsible for themselves (as opposed to a team sport).

Peeing blood sounds kind of scary.There's no real system like this, as the player is ultimately responsible for themselves (as opposed to a team sport).I don't if there should be some system for that, but we could have had a scary situation at that AO final where Li fell and hit her head, if she would have had a concussion but insisted on playing on since it was a Slam final. It's not like the player can think clearly at that point (and yes, I know that's an extreme example).

I'm not sure what it's like in Sweden but the concussion issue is one that at least in the UK (and I assume we're not the only ones) are miles behind say the USA.

We've had players play on through concussion here. In fact you even saw it away from the UK in the World Cup final last year.
