Dramatic. Jannik Sinner had to retire in the third set of a memorable battle against Tallon Griekspoor after the Dutchman avoided defeat in a second set that the Italian had almost won. The final result was 6-7 (3) 7-5 3-2 and Ret, with Sinner losing significant points in the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025.

Difficult conditions, accumulated fatigue, an experienced opponent, and a dangerous game... All these were the ingredients that made Jannik Sinner's match against Tallon Griekspoor in the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025 unsettling. Forced to grit his teeth and endure throughout the match, everything that happened exceeded any expectations of a great battle surrounding one of those matches remembered at the end of the year.

The events in the first set clearly demonstrated how challenging the entire match would be for the Italian. He couldn't earn a single break point, something unusual for him due to his clarity in returning serves. Griekspoor displayed a lot of intensity, attacked effectively with his forehand, and kept pace with a Sinner who avoided trouble thanks to his service. All this led to an exciting tiebreak, in which the intangibles of the Italian gave him the advantage from the early stages.

One could anticipate a drop in morale and confidence in the Dutchman during the second set after seeing how all the good work done had gone to waste. However, it wasn't the case. Griekspoor persisted in his game plan, adhering to the tactical scheme and putting pressure on a willing-to-suffer Sinner.

The Italian raised his level slightly and had six break points, with a 0-40 situation in the eighth game being particularly promising for his interests. Tallon managed to escape that dire situation, stepping up his game and surprising the Italian to level the score. Physically exhausted, in pain in one leg, and with many kilometers on his legs, the situation was worrying for Sinner.

So much so that Jannik Sinner had to retire in the early stages of the third set, showing dramatic scenes due to cramps. Tallon Griekspoor was able to withstand the physical torture of competing in these conditions better, eliminating the world number 2 from the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025. A heavy blow for Sinner, who tried everything but had to give up continuing on the court due to extreme cramps.
