This Heat Stress Index has risen to 4.8 now, and as it does so, Jannik Sinner has got some treatment.<\/p>\n
The trainer has come out and were working on his calf, but the treatment is brief. It was not a medical timeout, rather an ‘extended changeover’.<\/p>\n
Todd Woodbridge suggested Sinner might be starting to cramp.<\/p>\n
“He pointed to his left leg when he mentioned it to the trainer … that’s where the treatment is applied right now,” he said.<\/p>\n
“In my experience with cramps, they always started down in the bottom of my calf and then worked way up.<\/p>\n
“So is that what it is? Well, we won’t quite know, but a little bit of work on it to loosen it out perhaps.”<\/p>\n
He then walked out and after the next point, he cramped up again.<\/p>\n
“He’s getting cramp, his hand just went, his finger just went and his thumb … he might be in a bit of trouble here,” Woodbridge said.<\/p>\n
“I think he might have had some pickle juice in the break just then too. But definitely his thumb just went.<\/p>\n
“This is quite troubling.”<\/p>\n
His team know this is not good: “Just go point by point, dig deep,” his coach Darren Cahill could be heard saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This Heat Stress Index has risen to 4.8 now, and as it does so, Jannik Sinner has got…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-429475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
