Medvedev Match Halted as Ball Kid Collapses in Vienna

Daniil Medvedev's quarter-final match in Vienna was halted early when a ball kid collapsed at the back of the court and left on a stretcher.

The No. 3 seed was facing Adrian Mannarino and had broken immediately in a lengthy game. Mannarino was serving to get on the board at 0-2 (40-30) when the umpire suddenly called a let, noticing the ball kid go down at the back of the court behind Medvedev.

Umpire Stops Play

"Wait, stop," umpire Manuel Messina told the players. Medvedev and the umpire rushed over as the ball kid collapsed.

The match was stopped while the ball kid received attention and was eventually taken off the court on a stretcher.

Match Suspended

Play was suspended as a result of the incident. Further details about the ball kid's condition were not immediately available.
