a
tennis champion has tragically died suddenly at just 43 years old, according to reports.
Ryan Vannah died after collapsing on the court last week.
He was playing mixed doubles at Red Rock Country Club in Las Vegas on January 29.
Vannah was in the middle of the game when he dropped to the court unexpectedly, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Efforts to revive him using CPR failed, despite doctors trying for 55 minutes.
Although Vannah came from a family with a history of high blood pressure and he was taking drugs for it, his sister, Tami Vannah Kang, said.
Kang said her brother never appeared to have health problems and was a dedicated athlete.
“He took impeccable care of his health,” she said.
“He was so fit. He lifted weights.
“He looked like a bodybuilder to me. He was huge.
