The treatment Sinner received was not seen favorably by Rune. And true to his style, he did not hesitate to make it noticed. “It was a very hot and humid day, I suffered from it too. If Jannik had problems it is fair that they treated him, but I think the medical time lasted too long and It seemed brutal to me to be standing for more than ten minutes in the middle of a set“the Dane emphasized. “I was feeling good at the time, so it was a shame. The umpire told me that they took him to the locker room to do more checks and when he came back he was full of joy.“he said with some irony and disbelief.

“We were having a spectacular battle in the third set until the break came. The conditions were very tough and I was dead, honestly. Sitting in the heat for almost 12 minutes waiting for him to return was something that affected me physically.. Next time I must be smarter,” he concluded his testimony.

For his part, the San Candido native, owner of two Grand Slam trophies, gave little information about his physical condition, but assured that he had to deal with his rival and against himself.
