VIDEO: Fritz throws up on court during defeat to Paul in Acapulco as American aces battle in longest match in tournament history

Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul battled for over three hours in the very humid and warm Acapulco conditions with the former turning a bit sick towards the end of it.

Fritz and Paul were in the middle of a heated battle for a place in the Acapulco final when Fritz stopped play in the 3rd set on his serve. It was 6-5 for Paul in the final set with 3 hours and 20 minutes displayed on the clock. He went over to his bench and threw up before continuing the match. Fritz would win that game and force a tiebreak but Paul would prevail in it.

A very rare seen for a tennis court albeit understandable after a heated battle in such conditions.
