World No.8 Casper Ruud<\/a> teed off on the Miami Open<\/a>'s "joke" treatment of players after two others became ill while playing the tournament.<\/p>\n

\ufeffYoung French player Arthur Cazaux collapsed on court and was taken to hospital last week, and Italy's Matteo Berrettini almost fainted while trying to serve and had to take a medical timeout a couple of days later.<\/p>\n

While daytime temperatures are only reaching around 27 degrees Celcius\ufeff in Miami, overnight lows of 22 degrees and a 70 per cent humidity reading appear to be taking their toll.<\/p>\n

During a match over the weekend, Ruud – who is normally relatively reserved compared to some others on tour – vented his frustrations to the chair umpire.<\/p>\n

\"Matteo<\/p>\n

\ufeff"There's been no towels, no cold water, and just a plastic chair to change. This is a joke," Ruud fumed.<\/p>\n

"And you know why it is, because the tournament is too cheap to put up something good for the players.<\/p>\n

"The players come here every year to play, to put on a show in front of tens of thousands of people and then they treat us like this.<\/p>\n

"Go to trailer for five minutes in a room with nothing and just a plastic chair to change. Maybe they can put some towels, maybe some cold water for the players' comfort.<\/p>\n

"It's not your (umpire's) fault. I'm just saying how bad it is.<\/p>\n

"You have to take it on today to whoever is charge, Andrea, Massimo, whoever. Because every time the players complain, nothing happens."<\/p>\n

Ruud went on to beat Luca Van Assche\ufeff in three sets, then rolled Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Monday to advance to the round of 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
