We saw problems both at the end of the match with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/andrey-rublev\">Rublev<\/a>, and especially in the match with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Daniil-medvedev\">Medvedev<\/a>,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Binaghi believes Sinner\u2019s remarkable run in Rome, despite his physical issues, showcases what a brilliant champion the World No. 1 has become. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI think that in this last match Jannik showed energy that perhaps he didn\u2019t even know he had , but this is what great champions do, who are not normal people and who have a suffering threshold, a limit that is different from what we normal people have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sinner will now have a week off before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/roland-garros\">Roland Garros<\/a> kicks off, where he is expected to play on either the first Monday or Tuesday of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Whether his physical issues can be solved in that time is anyone\u2019s guess, but he has absolutely put a target on his back following his worrying physical capitulation in the second set against Medvedev in Rome.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that several top players on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP Tour<\/a> will be concocting a game plan in how to keep Sinner out on court for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the World No. 1 still remains the overwhelming favourite to win the Paris event and become the third youngest player to achieve the Career Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worrying update emerges on Jannik Sinner\u2019s physical condition ahead of Roland Garros Liam McMillen 19 May 2026 6:00 PM 3EFKP14 Italy&#8217;s Jannik Sinner takes a break as he plays Daniil Medvedev of Russia during their semifinal match at the Italian Open tennis tournament in Rome, Friday, May 15, 2026.
