Jannik Sinner suffers dizzy spell in French Open heat during dramatic match
Jannik Sinner vs Nadal: Clay Court History at Roland Garros?
Jannik Sinner, who was leading Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 in their French Open match, began to feel dizzy and sick, reporting he was on the verge of vomiting.
The Italian player’s condition deteriorated due to the rising temperatures in Paris, leading him to take a medical timeout and leave the court for treatment, including a blood pressure check.
During Sinner’s physical struggles and absence from the court, Juan Manuel Cerundolo capitalised by winning six consecutive games, ultimately breaking Sinner to claim the third set.
Sinner has a history of similar issues in extreme heat, having previously retired from the Shanghai Masters due to severe leg cramps and experiencing cramps at the Australian Open under high temperatures.
With the match now in the fourth set and Sinner visibly struggling, his continued participation in the French Open is uncertain, despite his efforts to regain composure.
