Sinner’s Shocking Exit at French OpenAfter 30 straight wins, Sinner lost in a grueling five-set match lasting over 3.5 hours due to heat exhaustion in round two.
- Jannik Sinner suffered a physical collapse from heat during the French Open, forcing him to retire after a five-set battle.
- He was defeated 6-3, 6-2, 5-7, 1-6, 1-6 by Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo despite leading 5-1 in the third set.
- Sinner’s early exit boosts Alexander Zverev’s chances, who advanced to the third round and is now the top favorite.
- Experts like Boris Becker highlighted that the heat posed a significant challenge for Sinner, impacting his performance.
How he’s been dragging himself around like that for an hour and a half, and suffering, that is really, really bitter.— Philipp Kohlschreiber, former pro – comment in the report on Sinner's condition during the match
