Sweltering conditions were thought to be the reason for 10th seed Victoria Azarenka's shocking collapse during her tie against Gisela Dulka. But Azarenka later shed light on the incident by explaining in a statement that she had fallen in the gym prior to her match while running a sprint and had stumbled forward, hitting her head and arm. "I was checked by the medical team before I went on court and they were courtside for monitoring," she said.
"I felt worse as the match went on, having a headache and feeling dizzy. I also started having trouble seeing and felt weak before I fell.
"I was taken to the hospital for some medical tests and have been diagnosed with a mild concussion."
