Jannik Sinner’s heat‑related loss at Roland Garros raises concerns ahead of Wimbledon

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner was eliminated in the second round of the French Open after nearly collapsing during his match against Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerúndolo. The heat in Paris was singled out as a major factor, with former coach Patrick Mouratoglou noting, “He doesn’t want opponents to know his weakness.”

Following the defeat, Sinner’s Italian medical team conducted extensive examinations, finding no serious medical issue. The player is now preparing to defend his Wimbledon title, where he will face a field that includes veteran Novak Djokovic. Analysts are watching how the recent heat episode might affect Sinner’s performance on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
