World number one Jannik Sinner surprisingly exited the second round of Roland Garros in Paris on Thursday. The Italian tennis player lost to Argentina's Juan Manuel Cerundolo in a five-set match, despite having the duel largely under control in his favor. El Mundo ↗
Sinner led 6:3, 6:2, and was already up 5:1 in the third set, but as temperatures rose above 30 degrees he began suffering serious physical problems. According to available information, he was troubled by dizziness, vomiting and hip pain. On Court Philippe Chatrier he called for help from medical staff, and his performance deteriorated significantly after the third set. BBC News ↗
For the four-time Grand Slam champion, this is the biggest upset of the tournament so far. The French Open remains the only Grand Slam event Sinner has yet to win. His defeat also ended a winning streak of 30 consecutive matches. Die Zeit ↗
Cerundolo, a 24-year-old Argentine and younger brother of Francisco Cerundolo, entered the match after recently reaching his best-ever ranking position, number 54. He was helped toward that ranking by a title win at the Challenger tournament in Bordeaux. La Repubblica ↗
Sinner's early exit significantly changes the picture in the men's draw. Cerundolo will continue on in Paris following the biggest win of his career, while Sinner will have to focus on recovering from his health problems. Le Figaro ↗
