The match between Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals of ATP Rome 2026 has had it all. From cramps, dizziness, vomiting, to a suspension due to rain. But before the break for rain, the Italian suffered cramps and requested the physio's intervention. Something that the Russian didn't like: "When do we call the physio for cramps, don't we get fined?". An issue that sparks controversy in the tennis world. Initially, you can call the physiotherapist for cramps, but with specific limitations, although rules sometimes consider cramps as fatigue and not as a treatable injury, while the umpire has the final say. In this case, Aurelie Torte allowed the treatment as she saw it as physical discomfort and not cramps.

He thinks it’s cramps and he should be allowed only a changeover treatment as per the cramps rules.
