A French tennis player collapsed mid-match on court at the Miami Open.<\/p>\n

Arthur Cazaux was forced to retire from his qualifier against Harold Mayot on Monday after he fell to the ground during the third set.<\/p>\n

Cazaux had levelled the match by winning the second set 7-5 after Mayot took the first 6-4.<\/p>\n

Footage posted on social media shows Cazaux fall to the ground as he begins to ready himself for his opponent to serve at 2-1 up in the third set.<\/p>\n

In the video, Cazaux, dressed in a white T-shirt and black shorts, goes down to his left and falls on to his back.<\/p>\n

It is several seconds before a medic runs into frame, followed by the match umpire.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old was later taken off the court in a wheelchair, handing the win to fellow Frenchman Mayot.<\/p>\n

Mayot, who is seen another clip posted on X walking over to check on Cazaux, received criticism on social media for his reaction.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X afterwards: “Stop starting a false controversy for nothing.<\/p>\n

“It had been several games since he didn’t feel well and he was starting to cramp.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t see him fall and I thought he was lying down because he had a cramp.<\/p>\n

“When I understood that it was serious I immediately followed go to him and I was very worried.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I did my best to help. There is nothing but great friendship and complicity between us and always has been.<\/p>\n

“You need to stop sending your hate all the time.<\/p>\n

“I wish him a good recovery and the best.”<\/p>\n
