On this day, August 28, 1995, Japanese player Shuzo Matsuoka was defaulted at the US Open, after suffering from cramps in the fourth set of his first-round match against Petr Korda while he was up two sets to one (6-7, 7-6, 7-6, 5-5). Matsuoka was left screaming on the ground for three minutes before he could receive any help, as the rules at the time did not allow medical treatment for cramps.
