Matteo Arnaldi and Flavio Cobolli in the press room together, Matteo issues his official statement about his withdrawal from Roland Garros:
โItโs difficult to be here. Itโs not what I wanted to do. But last night I started to feel not very well. Yesterday I was feeling okay. I came to practice and did everything I had to do. I felt fine. I had dinner. I started to feel so-so with my stomach. I was like โalright, just didnโt digest very well.โ I woke up at 1 a.m. and started vomiting. I wasnโt feeling the best. Then I tried to sleep.
Couldnโt sleep at all. At 6, 7 a.m. I vomited again. This time it was pretty bad. We called the doctor in the room. He came and gave me some stuff. I was hoping it could just be something from dinner or something like that. Throughout the day I couldnโt eat. Every time I ate or drank something I would go back to the bathroom. So itโs tough. Itโs tough. For how the tournament was, for how many hours I spent on court I was actually feeling very good.
To have to withdraw from my first Slam semifinal is not something you wish for anybody. I tried to get ready and tried to stay as much as I could here. Tried to see if I could go on court but every time I got up I feel dizzy and I donโt feel the best. Iโm pretty sure if I eat again I wonโt feel good. That was the right decision for me to take.โ

@ddn10_@tennisfoxy E non dimentichiamoci di come Jannik รจ uscito sempre dalle sconfitte e dalle fasi no. Vedi Wimbledon dello scorso anno e il record storico dei Masters vinti dopo Doha e AO. Si dimenticano sempre in fretta della gloria. Ma glielo dimostrerร anche stavolta a Wimbledon. Senza dubbio
Venus Williams spoke about Jannik Sinner:
โSo Sinner never won a match longer than 3 hours and 55 minutes, SO WHAT? Heโs done everything else.
In my opinion itโs more of a fluke than a real stat. Not only insane conditions, but he dealt with it with his head up: he never quit, never walked off the court, never considered stopping. Not only does he handle winning well, he handles losing with such grace and poise.โ

On this day two years ago, Jannik Sinner became #1 in the world for the first time, at the age of 22. He became the first italian man to reach this achievement.
This week is his 74th week at #1 ๐ฆ๐
