Jannik Sinner has revealed he was experiencing dizziness out on court during his five-set defeat to Daniil Medvedev in the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Tuesday.
The world No 1 was clearly under the weather from the start and, with the match at one set apiece, left the court at the start of the third set for more than 10 minutes.
A doctor checked his pulse and blood pressure and thought the Italian returned and continued to battle – forcing a deciding fifth set – Medvedev prevailed after four hours of action.
Speaking in his press conference afterwards, the 22-year-old revealed how he was feeling out on court.
“Already this morning I didn’t feel great,” Sinner said. “Had some problems. Then with the fatigue, it was tough.
