Watch: Medic Rushes on Court as Tennis Player Arthur Cazaux Collapses, Lies Motionless

The Miami Open qualifiers came to a sudden halt on Monday when one of the players suddenly collapsed on the court.

French tennis player Arthur Cazaux collapsed Monday as he stood waiting for a serve.

He was facing Harold Mayot in the third set of the match when he just fell to the ground, Sky News reported.

Paramedics rushed to Cazaux to try and help.

Cazaux, 21, who is ranked No. 74 in the world, was leading the match 2-1 in the third set. Mayot and Cazaux split the first two sets, 6-4 and 7-5.

He was forced to retire from the match and was taken off the court in a wheelchair.

On Wednesday, the young Frenchman provided an update on his condition on Instagram, according to Tennis365.

“I have just left the Miami hospital after spending the night there receiving care and a long series of tests,” Cazaux said.

“Today my physical condition is better, my tension and my heart have remained stable,” he said.

After the unspecified health issue, Mayot answered those who criticized him for not immediately rushing to check on his countryman.

“Stop starting a false controversy for nothing,” he wrote on his X account, according to a translation.

“It had been several games since he didn’t feel well and he was starting to cramp,” Mayot said.

“I didn’t see him fall and I thought he was lying down because he had a cramp,” he said.

“When I understood that it was serious I immediately [went] to him and I was very worried,” Mayot said.

“I did my best to help. There is nothing but great friendship and complicity between us and always has been,” the player said.

“You need to stop sending your hate all the time,” he said. “I wish him a good recovery and the best.”

The 141st-ranked Mayot defeated David Goffin in the next round of the tournament and faced Daniel Altmaier on Thursday.

For his part, Cazaux has achieved a career high of No. 74 in the ATP rankings and reached the fourth round of the Australian Open earlier this year.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,
