After the meeting, he admitted that felt increasingly worse during the duel.
I struggled, I started to feel very dizzy. I was out of energy. I tried to finish the match with a serve, but I didn’t have enough strength. In the fourth set, I relaxed a bit, trying to save some energy for the fifth. The first game was important for me. I couldn’t hold my serve and then it all went downhillSinner said after his 30-game winning streak was snapped.
It was not my day today 💔 We’ve had an incredible year so far but now I need some time off. Thank you all for the amazing support and congratulations @jmcerundolo he a solid match. See you soon. Au revoir, Paris 🇫🇷🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/L64GmtCb00

He added how it is already felt the problems in the morning before going out on the field.
I woke up this morning and I wasn’t feeling well so I tried to shorten the points as much as possible. At the beginning I was hitting very cleanly and very well, and then I just hit the wall and that was itthe Italian said.
