Faintings are not uncommon at the Australian Open as the event is usually played in quite harsh conditions with high temperatures common. It happened last year and it happened again this year. Spain's Pedro Martinez and Argentina's Federico Delbonis were playing their first-round match on Court 17 at Melbourne Park when the girl suddenly fainted.
Midway through their tiebreaker, Delbonis noticed something going on the other end. Both the players rushed to her help, with Delbonis sprinting from the far side of the court. The line judges too helped the girl with water before putting her into a nearby chair.
The girl was checked over by medical tournament medical staff and tended to by a designated ballkids’ nurse. She was later picked up by her parents. According to 7NEWS.com.au, the girl's condition had improved after resting in the ballkids’ lounge. However, it is not known what caused her to collapse.
