Organisers will reschedule matches to later in the day after one player exited her quarter-final in a wheelchair and another asked an umpire if they were comfortable with being responsible for his death on another scorching Tokyo day | ameliamcguiree

Olympic tennis organisers will reschedule matches to later in the day after one player exited her quarter-final in a wheelchair and another asked an umpire if they were comfortable with being responsible for his death on another scorching day in Tokyo.

Afterwards, Medvedev said he felt “darkness” in his eyes. “I didn’t know what to do to feel better,” he said. “I was ready to just fall down on the court.” Barty and Storm Sanders were up a set and in command against Czech top seeds Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova but missed a golden chance of a semi-final berth in a 4-6, 6-4, 10-7 loss.
