Czech Player Collapses After Five-Set Win at Roland Garros

Jakub Mensik defeated Argentina's Mariano Navone 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (11) in the second round at Roland Garros on Wednesday. The match lasted four hours and 41 minutes and ended with a 13-point tiebreaker in the deciding set. Mensik collapsed on the clay immediately after the final point.

He remained on the ground for several minutes while medical personnel attended to him for possible leg cramps and heat-related issues.

The player sat up briefly, grimaced, and lay back down before signaling for assistance. Medical staff applied ice to his forehead, and he remained on the court for about ten minutes. Mensik declined a wheelchair and walked off the court under his own power. He is scheduled to face Alex De Minaur in the third round on Friday.

Safiullin also experienced heat-related symptoms during matches earlier in the week. Ruud reported feeling dizzy and described himself as "walking around like a zombie almost" during his first-round victory.
