During the third round match against Auger-Aliassime, the Frenchman asked the medical time-out but was unable to finish his match
The heat and humidity (35 degrees the maximum in Ohio) of Cincinnati leave no escape. If DaniL Medvedev has tried to fight them between shots of anger, compresses and head immersed in the ice bin, Arthur Rinderknech instead had to yield. The French tennis player suddenly collapsed during the third round match against Felix Auger-Aliassime, shortly after the start of the second set. He searched the shadow to shelter from the sun of the American afternoon and the challenge stopped.

After losing the first set at the tie-break, Rinderknech felt bad at the fifth game of the second part. After collapsing on the ground, with the aim of being able to finish under the 32 degrees of Ohio, the Medical Time-Out has arrived. It was not enough, however: he returned to the field to play two game, but in still precarious conditions. The number 70 in the world therefore immediately the break by Auger-aliassime and subsequently decided to retire. The Canadian thus accesses the round of 16, where he will face the winner of the challenge between Bonzi and Tsitsipas.
