This player was about to lose the third set but Sinner’s health deteriorated and then he achieved victory by winning three sets. Sachin also looked extremely disappointed with Sinner’s ouster and expressed his grief by posting on social media.
Sinner could not bear the heat
Yannick Sinner Had a great start. He won the first two sets in a one-sided fashion. This Italian player easily won the first two sets 6-3, 6-2. During the third set, he started feeling dizzy and also started complaining of dehydration. Sinner also took a medical timeout but after the break he did not look the same as before. His body movements became very slow and he was seen struggling in long rallies. Juror Manuel Cerundolo took advantage of this. In the end, he won the match by winning three consecutive sets.
Sachin became emotional
Seeing Sinner losing like this, Sachin made an emotional post. He wrote, ‘There is a unique helplessness in sports when the mind wants to move forward, but the body has little planning. This is what I felt for Sinner today, because these moments can be very painful. Remember, the true identity of a champion always comes from comebacks. But this is why the game is so special. Full credit for the victory goes to Juan Manuel Cerundovo. He maintained his composure till the end and took full advantage of the opportunity.
