This is the reason why Jannik Sinner withdrew from the Cincinnati final

When no one expected it, Jannik Sinner withdrew from the final of the Cincinnati ATP with the score at 5-0 in favor of Carlos Alcaraz. The reason was a high fever that had hit him since the previous day and he was feeling really unwell. During the trophy presentation, the Italian explained what happened: "Yesterday I didn't feel very well. I thought I would improve overnight. It got worse. I tried to go out and play at least a short match, but I couldn't go on. I'm very sorry for all of you," apologized the world number one, who only lasted 23 minutes.
