At a tennis tournament in Guangzhou, China, the participants are warming up in the incredible heat. Sometimes there are unpleasant cases.

Clara Tausson from Denmark did not finish the match against Kazakhstan representative Yulia Putintseva. The 20-year-old athlete just fell on the court at the beginning of the 3rd set. The athlete suffered a heat stroke, so severe that he was unable to leave the court. The tennis player was taken to the hospital on a gurney.

Following the incident, organizers moved the start of Thursday’s matches at the Guangzhou courts to a later time. The city is currently experiencing extreme weather conditions. The temperature reached +37 degrees.

We remind you that earlier the tennis player lost consciousness during a match at a tournament in Washington.
