The Italian appeared to be feeling unwell during a 6-7 (6) 6-4 7-6 (4) 2-6 6-3 defeat.
DANIIL MEDVEDEV OVERCAME a struggling Jannik Sinner to dump the world number one out of Wimbledon in the quarter-finals.
He managed to forced a deciding set but it was Medvedev who eventually claimed a 6-7 6-4 7-6 2-6 6-3 victory after exactly four hours. Advertisement Having lost his first six matches against the Russian, Sinner went into this encounter looking to even the head-to-head. Sinner withstood more break points at 2-4 but, when he dropped serve again at 1-1 in the third, it was clear the 22-year-old was in trouble.
It was enough to keep him in touch until Medvedev served for the third set, where the assurance the fifth seed had shown suddenly deserted him and from nowhere Sinner broke back.
