(Reuters) - British teenager Jack Draper's ATP Tour debut ended abruptly after he collapsed on court during his first round match at the Miami Open against Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin on Thursday.

The sunny, humid and hot conditions on Court 2 appeared to have taken a toll on the 19-year-old wildcard during the first set which lasted 81 minutes.
