Tennis player Arthur Cazaux collapses during Miami Open qualifying match
French tennis player Arthur Cazaux collapsed during his Miami Open qualifying match on Monday afternoon, forcing him to retire from the match against Marold Mayot. Cazaux, who had just won the second set and was leading in the final set, fell to the floor during the third set and was attended to by staff.
The chair umpire cited illness as the reason for Cazaux’s retirement, with temperatures in Miami reaching 87 degrees and 70% humidity. This incident brings back memories of Jack Draper fainting in 2021 due to the heat.
Cazaux, who was making his first appearance at the Miami Open, has played in seven grand slams, with his best performance coming in the Australian Open earlier this year. Despite reaching the fourth round, he was defeated by Hubert Hukacz.
