In Wimbledon, Arthur Rinderknech had defeated Alexander Zverev. In Cincinnati, the Frenchman had problems with the heat.
It was so hot that even a well -trained high -performance athlete could no longer do: Arthur Rinderknech collapsed at the Cincinnati Open. The 30-year-old Frenchman, who had defeated Alexander Zverev in Wimbledon, went to the ground in the duel with Felix Auger-Aliasseime in the second set on the baseline.
In high heat in the US state of Ohio, medical staff had to intervene. On video recordings you can see how Rinderknech lies on the court and wipes your face with a towel. His opponent hurried to him to look after him.
The professional later gave the all -clear. Rinderknech wrote on Instagram: “Thanks for your news, everything is good! A large glass of water and it starts again.” According to media reports, he initially took a short break with ice bags and decided to continue playing. A little later, however, he gave up, which caused auer aliasim to move into the round of 16. The French sports newspaper “L’équipe” reported 31 degrees, which would have felt like 40 degrees for the players.
