Scary scene at U.S. Open as Johanna Konta collapses during second-round match

Johanna Konta is back on court after collapsing during her U.S. Open second-round match.

The 13th-seeded Konta went down late in the second set Wednesday against Tsvetana Pironkova. As medical staff attended to her, she told them her heart started racing and she felt as though she was in shock. Temperatures were in the mid-80s on Wednesday.

After several minutes, Konta was able to stand up and walk to her chair. She went back on court and double-faulted to give the second set to Pironkova, then was taken to the locker room before the start of the third.

Konta won the first set 6-2 and was up a break in the second, which the 71st-ranked Pironkova went on to win 7-5.
