Sinner misses Wimbledon semi-final after weakness attack
In an epic match lasting over four hours, Jannik Sinner came close to retiring due to a fainting episode: Nevertheless, the 22-year-old Italian fought his way back in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. However, in the end, he had to concede defeat to Russian Daniil Medvedev.
Shaken, fought - and yet failed: Jannik Sinner surprisingly missed out on the semifinals at Wimbledon. The 22-year-old world number one from South Tyrol seemed to be out of form at times during the 7-6 (9-7), 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 3-6 loss against Russian Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinal encounter.
In January, Sinner, who appeared to be struggling at times, had won the duel between the two opponents in the Australian Open final. In total, he had a 5-0 series against Medvedev.
This time, Medvedev triumphed, who in 2021 had his shining moment in the US Open final, and now, like the previous year, made it to the semifinals in Wimbledon. For the Moskauer, it is already the ninth Grand Slam semifinal, and he is aiming for his seventh final.
Medvedev, who from the start held his ground against Sinner, had to be treated for a injury early in the third set when the score was 1:2. Sinner then played without a decisive breakthrough. In the fourth set, the favorite had a respite - but Medvedev had the better end of it.
Despite his previous victories against Medvedev, including the Australian Open final, Sinner encountered difficulties in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. This tennis match, filled with intensity and drama, saw Sinner struggling occasionally but still managing to compete at Wimbledon's hallowed courts, a testament to his tenacity in the sport of Tennis at Wimbledon.
Subsequently, Sinner's streak against Medvedev came to an end during the Wimbledon quarterfinals, where the pressure-filled match ended in a narrow loss, marking a setback in the young Italian's Grand Slam Tennis career.
