Jannik Sinner’s Courageous Battle 💪
Italy’s Jannik Sinner, just 23 years old, faced a tough match against Holger Rune from Denmark. Despite feeling unwell and the scorching heat at the Rod Laver Arena, Sinner fought hard to win 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. 🥵
At one point, he felt dizzy and needed a medical timeout. But showing true sportsmanship, he came back stronger! “I wasn’t feeling really well,” Sinner admitted. But that didn’t stop him from matching an Italian record by reaching his 10th Grand Slam quarterfinal! 🇮🇹✨
Next up, Sinner will face Australia’s own Alex de Minaur, who zoomed past American Alex Michelsen with a 6-0, 7-6, 6-3 win. It’s going to be an epic showdown! 🏆
