Jannik Sinner what’s going on? Now Italy is trembling
Jannik Sinner suddenly in trouble.
Juan Manuel Cerundolo won the third set of the match valid for the second round of Roland Garros, halving the disadvantage from the Azzurro, ahead 2-1 (6-3, 6-2, 5-7). After comfortably leading the match in the first two sets, the world number one suddenly collapsed in the third set, where he began to feel the high temperature (36 degrees perceived).
Jannik Sinner started his second match at Roland Garros with authority, winning the first set against Francisco Cerundolo thanks to the 6-3 result obtained in 35 minutes. The Azure immediately imposed pace and aggressiveness, finding a break early on and controlling the partial thanks to solidity on serve and depth of strokes. Cerundolo tried to stay in the slipstream, but suffered from the continuity and variations of the world number one.
In the second set the Argentine started well but Sinner responded immediately restoring the balance before placing the decisive break in the third game with aggressive responses and passes of great quality. Despite some difficulties on the serves, the Italian always managed the key moments with lucidity, even finding a second break that effectively closed the partial. Cerundolo had one last gasp in the final, but Sinner maintained control until the final 6-2.
The unbelievable happened in the third set: the Azzurro led comfortably up to a 5-1 lead, posting two breaks in the third and eighth game, but suddenly collapsed physically, perhaps due to the great heat. The San Candido champion began to feel the heat wave in Paris (perceived temperature 36 degrees), and he resoundingly lost the next three games. On 5-4 for him, 0-40 for Cerundolo, he called for the physiotherapist’s intervention: “I don’t feel well, I feel that I need to vomit.”
The South Tyrolean continued to touch his thigh and then walked off the court in search of refreshment. After a few minutes he returned and resumed the match but there was no way: he suffered the 5-5 break by the Argentine, who then also won the 11th and 12th games winning the partial set. Sinner at the end of the set immediately went to the toilet break to try to recover his energy.
