JACK DRAPER’s first match on grass this year was halted after a spectator was taken ill at Queen’s Club.
The British No.1 was waiting to receive serve against American Jenson Brooksby in a first-round tie in game four of the second set.
Yet cries of “stop, stop, stop”; could be heard from fans as stewards rushed over to the incident in the uncovered stands.
The umpire immediately stopped play and both players sat down under umbrellas during the delay.
Temperatures reached 26 degrees during the clash and supporters were encouraged to drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen and don hats.
Draper was leading 3-6, 3-0 at the time of the delay.
