Courier criticizes the decision to let Sinner go to the bathroom: "It's outside the bounds of fairness"
The decision to allow Jannik Sinner to go to the locker room in the middle of a point will spark controversy in this Roland Garros. The Italian started to feel dizzy and suffered from heat stroke, and the chair umpire allowed him to go to the locker room. Something that did not sit well with Jim Courier, who criticized the Italian during the live broadcast: "It's clearly cramps. The rules are not the same for the Top players. Aurelie Tourte and the FFT will have to explain what happened. Taking a player out to be evaluated goes beyond fairness." However, the rules allow the player to go to the bathroom if they are suffering from cramps or heat stroke.
Courier has strongly criticized what happened with Sinner.

It seems incredible that Courier does not know the rules and that if there is a warning of a heat stroke... https://t.co/VD4EXxHSBs— José Morón (@jmgmoron) May 28, 2026
