Jannik Sinner is currently preparing for the upcoming Wimbledon Championships. He was recently spotted in London, struggling with the rising heat. The picture quickly went viral online, drawing concerned reactions from fans.
Sinner was last seen in action at the French Open, where he entered as a heavy favorite but suffered a shocking second-round exit. The world No. 1 appeared to be in complete control of his match against Juan Manuel Cerundolo, leading by two sets and serving at 5-1 in the third. However, he then experienced dizziness and heat exhaustion, resulting in a physical collapse which dramatically changed the outcome of the contest.
His opponent made a comeback in the next sets, claiming a 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 victory. Following this loss, the Italian took a break and is set to return at Wimbledon. However, concerns over his ability to cope with extreme heat have resurfaced ahead of the championships. A picture of the world No. 1 training in London recently went viral on X, showing him using an ice pack during his practice session amid the rising heat waves.
