Jack Draper has revealed he “couldn’t hear the ball” at times during his second-round defeat to Jakub Mensik at the Miami Open.
The match had been brought to a halt after hoards of Brazillian tennis fans in attendance to watch Joao Fonseca realised the teenager was playing on a different court.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “I didn’t really know what was going on it was getting quite loud, couldn’t really hear the ball being hit. I think those Brazilian fans had been in the stadium all day waiting for him [Fonseca] to play and then obviously they changed the court.
“It’s not ideal I can understand their frustration, we had to stop for a bit. It’s so good [the support], especially at this tournament where I don’t feel like the crowd attendance is amazing, it’s not fair on them if they can’t get on that centre court. I can understand their frustration, I was just confused as to what was going on.”
