Athletistic / Tennis. The world’s 16th ranked player, Denmark’s Holger Rune, lost consciousness during the match against Portugal’s Nuno Borges in the second round of the Masters Series tournament in Cincinnati (Ohio, USA). The incident occurred at the beginning of the second set with the score 2:1 in favor of Borges.
Rune fainted in the rest area where tennis players go when they change sides of the court. A doctor was immediately called to the stadium and measured the athlete’s blood pressure. The medical staff allowed Runa to continue playing. As a result, the Dane defeated Nuno Borges with a score of 6:3, 7:6 (10-8) and reached the third round of the “thousandth” in Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Masters will end on August 19. Its prize pool in 2024 is $6.8 million. The current champion of the competition is the second racket in the world, Serbian Novak Djokovic. Among the Russians, Daniil Medvedev won in Cincinnati (2019).
