Chris Eubanks left the court during a crucial point on Wednesday as the American appeared to battle stomach issues in the US Open second round.<\/p>\n
Down a set to Benjamin Bonzi in the fourth set with the score tied 5-5, Eubanks could be heard asking the umpire if he could forfeit the game so he could rush to the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Eubanks was also said to have requested\u00a0nausea medication from the umpire earlier in the match.<\/p>\n
‘If I take a penalty for every point this game, plus a bathroom break, how much time is that? Like just sacrifice this next game to go to the bathroom,’ he asked with the fourth set tied 5-5.<\/p>\n
‘Now?’ the umpire replied.<\/p>\n

Eubanks suffered a disappointing end to his US Open on Wednesday vs. Benjamin Bonzi<\/p>\n
‘Yeah I mean, yeah. If I did, how much time is that?’<\/p>\n
‘You wouldn’t have long,’ the umpire said.<\/p>\n
‘I wouldn’t? Even if I gave the game plus a bathroom break?’<\/p>\n
‘You have the whole changeover at 6-5.’<\/p>\n
From there, Eubanks went back onto the court for an extremely quick game, as he took two aces and ran off the court as Bonzi hit a winner at 40-0.<\/p>\n
After running to the bathroom and reappearing for the next game, Eubanks held serve to tie things up, but ultimately lost 9-7 in a tiebreak to cede the match, 6-7, 6-2, 2-6, 6-7.<\/p>\n
