Sinner, angry with Roland Garros after a strange decision

To get angry. Strange decision by Roland Garros with the main male favorite as the protagonist. Radical change in the Italian’s plans and preparation Jannik Sinner, world number one, from one game to the next. From the closed night to the most open day.

During the first four days of the tournament, Roland Garros had opened the center court with a women’s singles. He also broke that rule for this Thursday. And it was decided on the meeting of the men’s team between Jannik Sinner and the Argentine Juan Manuel Cerúndolo.

Right at noon, at 12:00 p.m. During working hours. Strange to place Sinner in a zone that it does not occupy. As the main figure, he usually goes to the court at the earliest around two in the afternoon, especially when his debut concluded by leaving the facility at midnight.

In any case, Sinner has already warned that there are no excuses, not even for the high temperatures that have turned Paris into an oven at more than 33º C. The snowman normally suffers in these conditions, but it is an issue that he has worked on, as he has warned these days in the French capital.

“I’m happy to play at night, I’m happy to play during the day. When they call me. I already adapted very well to the heat in Indian Wells. It did a lot, and I had no problems. We prepared well,” says Sinner, who has made stays in Dubai in order to better withstand the summer rigor.

You’re not feeling so overwhelmed at Roland Garros: “Here the heat is different, the humidity is not as high as in Australia or the United States. Every day counts, so tomorrow (Wednesday) is a good day to get used to the heat.” You will need it because at noon the sun burns in this atypical Parisian heat wave, due to its duration and intensity. He has reasons to be angry, but the goal of winning his first Roland Garros is more important. He doesn’t want to get distracted by anything.
