Medvedev.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old was seeking a 33rd-straight win at Masters 1000 level in his semi-final clash with the Russian in Rome last Friday, but was pushed to the limit by the former world No 1.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the contest getting suspended due to rain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> took a medical timeout, when he was a break up in the third and final set, for what appeared to be cramps.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after, both players walked off the court due to the adverse weather conditions, before Sinner came back and won the encounter the following day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Daniil-medvedev\">Medvedev<\/a> appeared to be the more frustrated of the two when play was halted, with some tennis fans taking to social media to claim that Sinner was getting preferential treatment at his home tournament.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ATP Tour News<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong><a

I know people are like \u2018Of course they saw rain and cancelled it for Sinner,\u2019 but that is not the case here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Querrey also weighed in on the debate over whether or not Sinner\u2019s medical timeout against Medvedev was for an injury or cramps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\">ATP Tour<\/a> rules dictate that a player can only receive treatment for cramping during a changeover, rather than taking a medical timeout.<\/p>\n<p>But because it is so difficult to enforce, players may be getting away with it. And Querrey has pointed out a potential flaw if a player is refused treatment for cramping.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIt\u2019s almost like everyone needs to be okay with you getting treatment on cramps on changeovers. You can also fake\u2026 If you are cramping, you can say, \u2018I have a sharp pain in my quad\u2019 and even though it\u2019s not a sharp pain in your quad and they can start rubbing the area and fix it. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a good solution for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the trainer goes out and they say, \u2018That\u2019s not cramps, it\u2019s something else\u2019, and then the player goes on and gets hurts and they say, \u2018Well the trainer didn\u2019t help me\u2019, and then all of a sudden you\u2019ve got lawsuits on your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-prize-money-rankings-blow-wimbledon-withdrawal\">Wimbledon: How much prize money and how many ranking points will Carlos Alcaraz miss out on after injury blow?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Querrey dismisses Jannik Sinner \u2018conspiracy\u2019 at Italian Open and raises lawsuit fears Tennis365 19 May 2026 8:00 PM Daniil Medvedev shakes hands with Jannik Sinner at the Italian Open Sam Querrey has rubbished any \u201cconspiracy\u201d theory talk surrounding Jannik Sinner\u2019s Italian Open win over Daniil Medvedev.
