Jannik Sinner facing off against Jack Draper has delivered thus far on drama stakes both in the tennis department and also the battle of the afflicted with both in serious strife at the US Open.
Only two sets into their clash which could go best of five, Draper has done what can be phrased as the Sinner. He threw up twice on the court and then cleaned it up with his towel before throwing it back in the box.
Seemingly feeling the heat and the conditions after Sinner looked to be struggling early on. The Italian famously threw up on the court during similarly sweltering conditions in Beijing last year.
But this began what has been termed as post puke Sinner. He ended up going on. a tear after that moment becoming the all conquering World No.1. But can this be the catalyst for Draper?
Albeit the cameras at the same time panned from one bench to the other as Sinner landed awkwardly on his wrist. Playing an incredible point and winning it at 4-4, he gave it all he had but could affect him long time.
He had to call for the physio and had a medical timeout like Draper in the changeover as both seemingly will battle to the finish with ailments. Something that will make the winner of Fritz and Tiafoe lick their lips no doubt.
This is the current situation for Jannik Sinner v. Jack Draper... Battle of the sick and injured. 😭 #USOpen

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
