Jakub Mensik collapses on court amid intense French Open heat

Cramp-stricken Jakub Mensik collapsed on court in distressing scenes after winning his second-round match at the French Open.

An unseasonal heatwave in Paris has made conditions tough for players during the first four days at Roland Garros and 26th seed Mensik was left in real trouble after battling to a 6-3 2-6 6-4 1-6 7-6 (13/11) victory over Mariano Navone in an epic four hours and 41 minutes.

Mensik was clearly cramping in his legs before serving the final point but managed to hit a final forehand winner before dropping to the clay.
