Despite reaching the fourth round flying high, the reality is that Jannik Sinner came very close to packing his bags at Wimbledon this Monday. He had it in his hands, an excellent Grigor Dimitrov, who was forced to retire from the match due to an injury, depriving us of knowing what would have happened in that case. The Italian was given a big scare, and we will see him in the quarterfinals of another Grand Slam. It's always sad news when a fellow player has to retire due to injury, although there are few men more gentlemanly than Jannik when these situations occur. This was his reaction in the press conference following the unfortunate incident.

Tragic Outcome

“I think I said everything I thought on the court; it was a lot of bad luck for him after playing tremendous tennis for two sets. Certainly, this is not how one wants to end a match. I don't know what happened to him; after the match, it's normal for each one to be with their team, and I didn't want to get too close. We are good friends, but these moments are always very difficult. I didn't think it was the right time to go and ask him, so for now, I don't know anything.”

His Elbow Pain

“It happened very early in the match, in the first game of the match. It was quite an unfortunate fall. I checked the videos a moment ago, and it didn't seem serious, but I still felt it quite a bit at that moment, especially every time I had to serve or hit a forehand. I could feel that something was happening, so we'll see how it evolves. Tomorrow we will check how it is. Here at the ATP, we have good physiotherapists, in any case. The doctor said he's fine, but we will check tomorrow anyway with an MRI to see if there's anything serious that we need to adjust.”

Dimitrov's Level

“He was serving impressively, very precise and very fast. He changed the game very well; there was a bit of a breeze, and he used the wind in the smartest way. I felt like I had prepared for the match the right way, although the execution was even better. He was playing great tennis; after closing the roof, we didn't really know what was going on, although we had some good exchanges until the start of the third set. He showed what his potential is, it's a shame what happened afterward. I wish him a quick recovery.”

Shelton in the Quarterfinals

“I'll have to work a lot on my return game for his big serve, of course. Obviously, he's a player who has improved a lot from the baseline; I saw the great match he played against Carlos (Alcaraz) in Paris. He also knows how to slide on all surfaces; we faced each other here last year, and it was a really tough match, so we'll see what happens this time, but I'm clear that he will pose significant challenges for me. Now I have to focus first on my own things; I hope to be 100% for that match.”
