Jakub Mensik said it was "insane" to play a marathon match at the French Open in temperatures above 30 C on Wednesday, after collapsing with cramp on court immediately after securing victory over Mariano Navone.
The 20-year-old needed eight match points to win 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (11) after four hours and 41 minutes on Court 6, completely exposed to the sun.
