Roland-Garros: Frenchman Stéphane Houdet breaks his wheelchair in the middle of a match

Unheard of for Stéphane Houdet. The 52-year-old Frenchman experienced an unprecedented sequence on Tuesday on the courts of Roland-Garros. A first for more than fifteen years of career. Opposed to the Japanese Takuya Miki, the 17th player in the world fell from his chair because the latter, in carbon, broke during the first set.

"Falling out of my chair has happened to me before, but falling out of the chair because it breaks in two in the middle of a match is a first," said the three-time Paralympic champion in comments reported by L'Equipe. This is proof that wheelchair tennis is a mixture of motor sport and tennis. In seven years I've never had the slightest problem and there, the saddle came off the frame, it's incredible. The French lost to the Japanese in the first round (6-4, 6-2) at Roland-Garros on Tuesday.
