The Belarusian revealed that she was cheering for Sinner before the start of his match, dedicating very kind words to the Italian and wishing him a speedy recovery after conceding in Paris.
Jannik Sinner
The Italian analyzed his surprising defeat at Roland Garros against Juan Manuel Cerundolo: "The heat had nothing to do with it, this morning I was already feeling unwell".
Juan Manuel Cerúndolo has pulled off one of the biggest surprises in recent years by eliminating Jannik Sinner in the second round of Roland Garros 2026, where Sinner suffered from heatstroke and bid farewell prematurely. At the same time, his brother Fran was playing against Hugo Gaston, whom he managed to come back against to secure a double win for the family, and his reaction upon learning of his brother's victory was priceless. "I had no clue. I stepped onto the court trailing a set and 4-1 against Sinner. When we were at one set apiece, I didn't see my family and I was like 'hey, what happened?'. They told me he was down 2 sets to 1. Then, in the fourth set while I was playing, they informed me my brother was winning, and I was like 'hold on, don't tell me more', as I was also struggling with my own match. Later they told me he had won, and I thought to myself 'I can't lose now'. It was all very crazy.
Unmissable moment! This was Fran Cerúndolo's reaction upon finding out about Juanma's victory over Sinner. 😱🇦🇷

Jannik Sinner has been knocked out in the second round of Roland Garros 2026 against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, largely due to the physical issues he has faced. At one point during the match, the Italian's condition was such that the chair umpire decided to stop the match for him to receive treatment, and many attributed it to the heat in Paris. The controversy surrounding this has led the tournament itself to issue a statement to clarify the situation.
"For the women's qualifying and main draw singles: When the WBGT index reaches 30.1 degrees Celsius or higher before the start of a match or during a match in progress, a 10-minute break between the second and third sets will be allowed if requested by any player. If both players decline the 10-minute break, the game will continue without interruption."
For the men's main draw singles: When the WBGT index reaches 30.1 degrees Celsius or higher before the start of a match or during a match in progress, a 10-minute break between the third and fourth sets will be allowed if requested by any player. If both players decline the 10-minute break, the game will continue without interruption.
No modifications are allowed for men's qualifying singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, or mixed doubles matches. The tournament referee will make the final decision on any disputes or uncertainties arising at the venue concerning the Extreme Weather Conditions Policy. If a match resumes after a suspension for any reason, and before the suspension, one set has been completed in women's singles (qualifying and main draw) or two sets in men's singles (main draw), the 10-minute break will not apply unless the referee decides otherwise."

It has taken nearly three years for the hegemony of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the Grand Slams to break. The wrist injury to the Spanish tennis player and the defeat of the Italian against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo at Roland Garros 2026, influenced by heatstroke, have made Novak Djokovic once again the top favorite to win a Grand Slam, a status he hasn't had since the US Open 2023 against Daniil Medvedev, which could give him his 25th major title.

Juan Manuel Cerúndolo has become the main protagonist of Roland Garros 2026 after defeating Jannik Sinner. In addition to being the tournament's surprise, the Argentine has also broken a milestone that had not occurred since 1998. The younger Cerúndolo brother has become the player with the lowest ranking (56th) to defeat the number one at Roland Garros since Ramon Delgado (97th) defeated Pete Sampras in 1998.

The reign of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the Grand Slams is over. With the Italian's elimination at Roland Garros and the absence of the Spaniard due to injury, there will be a different Grand Slam champion.

The earthquake that caused the defeat of Jannik Sinner at Roland Garros 2026 will also have its consequences on the ATP Ranking. Despite the comfortable lead he still holds over Carlos Alcaraz, his elimination in Paris prevents him from defending last year's final and costs him a total of 1,250 points. Thus, the Spaniard is now 3,540 points behind before the start of the grass season.

The world number one suffers another heat stroke and cramps when the match was sealed, letting the Argentinean complete the biggest surprise possible in Paris.
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
