Italy’s Jannik Sinner reacts whilst playing against Britain’s Cameron Norrie during their men’s singles exhibition match during the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic tournament at the Hurlingham Club in London on June 24, 2026. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s been an element of mystery behind World No. 1 Jannik Sinner\u2019s on-court collapses at the two majors preceding Wimbledon this year.<\/p>\n
At the Australian Open, the Italian dealt with severe dehydration and cramping in his five-set loss to Novak Djokovic. Thereafter, at the French Open, he once again struggled to cope with the heat<\/a> as he shockingly dropped 18 consecutive points after going up 5-1 in the third set against Juan Manuel Cerundolo. He would lose in five sets.<\/p>\n After his collapse at Roland Garros, Sinner took the calculated risk of skipping all the events in the lead-up to Wimbledon \u2014 to address his issues with dehydration. He underwent a series of \u201cconfidential\u201d medical tests<\/a> at Raffaele Hospital in Milan, where, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport,<\/a> doctors performed \u201cin-depth cardiac and metabolic tests\u201d to rule out any pathology or deficit. Notably, they wanted to investigate the core reason for his \u201cnumerous bouts of physical weakness\u201d this year.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner Reveals \u2018Conclusion\u2019<\/p>\n While Sinner\u2019s camp has kept the results of his tests close to its vest, the man himself provided an update after his 6-3, 6-3 win over\u00a0Cameron Norrie at the Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club \u2014 days before his first-round match at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did some testing, we tried to understand what happened, we came to a conclusion which is very good,\u201d he told the media, via Tennis365.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSo, we worked very much, we changed a little bit the work as well, trying to see how my body reacts in different conditions. And that\u2019s it,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the same time, things can happen. I know it\u2019s an unpredictable sport, but I try to see the positive thing.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve had some good practice weeks, trying to put in as much fuel as possible also for after Wimbledon, because it\u2019s very long with Montreal, Cincinnati, US Open. You don\u2019t have a lot of time to work physically, so we did a lot of work in the last couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner Braves the Heat<\/p>\n Some fans thought it was rather bizarre for Sinner to refer to his on-court collapses as a \u201cpositive thing,\u201d but did take solace in his suggesting that the tests ruled out any cardiac- or nerve-related issues.<\/p>\n Another positive piece of news is that Sinner didn\u2019t experience any dehydration issues during his match at the Hurlingham Club or in his practice sessions at the All-England Tennis Club.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what I need, a good preparation before starting the tournament. From Monday on, it is not that warm, but if it is warm, we did a lot of work. We cannot do more than this,\u201d Sinner said of his warm-ups before Wimbledon.<\/p>\n \u201cIn future, we will always try to practise where the warmer conditions could be, because I feel like every tournament is getting warmer and warmer every year, so it\u2019s going to be important, but we did a lot of work. Also today was a good preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n With Carlos Alcaraz pulling out with a wrist injury, Sinner is the overwhelming betting favorite to win his second consecutive Wimbledon title.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tSai Mohan<\/a> covers the NBA for Heavy.com.
