Melbourne: Top seed Bruno Kuzuhara boys won the Australian Open junior title on Saturday, in a remarkable conclusion to a marathon that saw opponents Czech Jakub Mensik collapsed with Kramp in a wheelchair.
Mensik won a long rally to make it 30-30 at 5-6 in the third set and concluded, but she could barely stand to follow the exchange and hit two double faults in a row to win the American, who won 7-6 (4), 6-7 (6), 7-5 in less than four hours.
