The heart racing madly, the head spinning, the alienating feeling of being on the verge of dying, with no escape. This is what you feel during a panic attack, what Salvatore Caruso experienced today while he was on the pitch against Alessandro Giannessi in the Challenger of Montechiarugolo, Emilia-Romagna Tennis Cup. When the match was on the score of 6-3 3- 1 in favor of the Ligurian, the Avola tennis player suddenly collapsed to the ground. The chair judge immediately stopped the game. Respiratory problems due to the heat and an anxiety attack for the number 205 in the world ranking who, after first aid, got back on his feet by retiring and reaching the changing rooms. It took a while for the tachycardia to resolve, then Caruso fully recovered.
