Journalist James Gray revealed the reasons for this incident:
"I understand it was a mistake on the part of the volunteer attendant, who thought he was leaving the court at the end of the match, and not for a toilet break in the middle of the match."
The ATP, approached by AFP, mentioned that Mensik had not undergone a doping test during this sequence.
He then had to take a test at the end of the match.
