Jannik Sinner endured a real ordeal in the third round of the 2026 Australian Open. Cramps affected his legs and arms, while the temperature soared over 36 °C in the Rod Laver Arena. The extreme heat policy allowed the roof to be closed, giving him a crucial break to regain mobility and turn the match around. "It started in the leg and then spread to the arms, so I had cramps all over my body. I was lucky with the heat rule; they closed the roof. I took my time and, as time passed, I started feeling better," he explained.

And to think he will probably come out of this despite his condition.

The haters will say he was favored, but once again, great mental management to handle this difficulty. With the opportunity of the roof, yes, but strong in the head.
