Harold Mayot came under fire due to his lack of urgency in responding to Arthur Cazaux collapsing on the court at the Miami Open qualifying match. He looked unconcerned after the Frenchman collapsed and stood on his side of the court.

Mayot cleared the air around what actually happened and mentioned that he did not see the collapse and presumed that Cazaux was suffering from cramps. He then added that he quickly rushed to his friend's side when he understood the situation. On his X (formerly Twitter) account, He said,

Stop starting a false controversy for nothing. It had been several games since he didn't feel well and he was starting to cramp. I didn't see him fall and I thought he was lying down because he had a cramp. When I understood that it was serious I immediately followed to go to him and I was very worried," Mayot wrote.

"I did my best to help. There is nothing but great friendship and complicity between us and always has been. You need to stop sending your hate all the time. I wish him a good recovery and the best," Mayot added.
