Heat shock: Jannik Sinner falls at Roland-Garros

World number one Jannik Sinner was eliminated from Roland-Garros by Juan Manuel Cerúndolo due to a heat-related collapse, ending a 30-match winning streak.

The Italian star, who had not lost since February, suffered a shock exit after leading 5-2 in the third set. He was broken three times in a row, allowing Cerúndolo to advance to the next round. Sinner had been chasing his first French Open title to complete a career Grand Slam. syntagm.co.za
