Jannik Sinner admits he was ‘feeling sick’ in the morning ahead of Miami Open title clash against Daniil Medvedev

Jannik Sinner, who lost the final against Daniil Medvedev in Miami Open admitted that he felt sick in the morning before the match, but there was no question of him pulling out of the tournament. He looked uncomfortable in the 87 F (30.5 C) heat and took a pill along with a powder in his water.

“We woke up this morning, not at my best, I felt a little bit sick…unfortunately today I couldn’t play at my best,” said the 21-year-old after the match to Medvedev in the final.

“No, it was not that bad. But, you know, with the heat, when you run a lot, it gets a little bit worse and worse. Obviously, the first half an hour we played in the sun also,” added the Italian.

Medvedev also agreed that it was probably the hottest day and the most humid during the day. “I was also struggling, tried not to show it,” said the Russian.

It was Medvedev’s 19 ATP Tour title, however, it was also his first Masters 1000 since the Toronto event in 2021. The Russian did not have an impressive season in 2022 and after an early defeat at the Australian Open, he was pushed from the top 10 in three years. Seven weeks later, the World No.4 won his first Miami Open title in his career.
