En plein match de qualification au tournoi de Miami, le Montpelliérain Arthur Cazaux s'est écroulé lors contre Harold Mayot ce lundi 18 mars.

The image is circulating on the networks and it is not pleasant to see. We see Arthur Cazaux, in the middle of a fight against Harold Mayot in the first round of qualifying for the Miami tournament, falling backwards. The heat and humidity of the American event got the better of the 21-year-old from Montpellier.

Evacuated on a wheelchair

While he was leading against his compatriot (4-6, 7-5, 2-1), Cazaux could no longer stand and collapsed at the resumption of the fourth game in the third set. On the ground for several seconds, he ended up leaving the field on a wheelchair. The forfeit was inevitable.
