French Open tennis clash abandoned after FIVE MINUTES as star forced to withdraw in rarely-seen scenes
A MATCH at Roland Garros lasted just five minutes this afternoon after a star was quickly forced to pull out with injury.
Kiwi Marcus Daniell was partnering American Mackenzie McDonald in the men’s doubles second round clash on Court 4.

The duo beat Dustin Brown and Frances Tiafoe yesterday to advance.
Waiting for them in round two were 19th seeds Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo.
The players were made to wait hours for their match to commence due to the rainy conditions in Paris.
They eventually did take to court, despite every other doubles match on today’s schedule being postponed due to the weather.
When they did get going, the contest did not last long.
Arevalo and Pavic began the match by holding serve.
Following that single game, Daniell was forced to retire due to an injury, handing Arevalo and Pavic safe passage to the third round.
The Croatian-Salvadoran partnership are now due to face German sixth seeds Kevin Krawietz and Tim Putz.
McDonald, meanwhile, is signed up to play the Challenger event in Surbiton next week.
