João Fonseca after beating Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros “How did you keep believing you could win this match?” João: “I actually didn’t. 😂 I just played. I just enjoyed being on court. What a pleasure it was. What an idol we have.” ❤️

There is no need to get that close to any player in the heat of battle. I could sit atop the stadium with a 300mm or 400 mm lens and get the same shot. Novak loves photographers and camera operators. He's also human and has a breaking point when pushed too far.

Novak Djokovic to the cameraman during his match against João Fonseca at Roland Garros: “Can you come more in my face? For God’s sake make some space” 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sinner and team have to keep searching for solutions on the heat issue. They spent the offseason training in Dubai instead of Monte Carlo. That was smart, but it didn't pay off. Here's a YouTube comment I received back in January. Food for thought.

This is just like the 2020 USO. Everyone in the draw suddenly knows this is the chance. Djokovic the only former major champ remaining. Expect the nerves to be off the charts in these matches. The tennis in New York that year was some of the ugliest you’ll see. Pressure is on.

I don't enjoy watching players struggle with ailments or injuries on court. It's not the first time we've seen this with Sinner. There is something seriously wrong. Perhaps only he knows, or his trainer and physio know.
José Morgado@josemorgado

Sinner met the press at #RolandGarros, tried to explain what happened... "I didn't feel very well on court, but it can happen. I was in a good spot, also third set. I couldn't serve it out. Then struggled quite a bit. Congrats to him. I don't want to take anything away from him. He played a very solid match, especially also in the end" "I struggled, starting to feel very dizzy. Very low of energy. Tried to serve it out, but didn't have a lot of energy. Fourth set, I let it go a little bit trying to have a bit more energy in the fifth. Very important game the first one. Couldn't hold. Then it went a bit downwards." "Even though I was playing some great tennis, but really couldn't find any energy today. It was a tough spot to be in. But, again, this is the sport. It was warm, but not crazy warm. I feel like it was quite okay to play. Really it was nothing against the heat, nothing against the weather. It was just me today, but it happens."

I can't think of a bigger upset than a world number one (who had won 5 Masters 1000s in a row) losing an early round match where he was one game from victory at 2 sets up and 5-1.

@pavyg She came down to talk to him like he owns the tournament and runs the ATP tour. Have we seen this before with other players? I don't recall her telling Sinner's opponent about his various options.

Sinner just confirmed that it was not an injury, just that he felt dizzy, flat and no energy. He stopped in mid game to rest and then the Umpire stopped the shot clock and told him what his options were. He then went off court for nearly 10 mins. WOW. 🚩

My video coming up covering; Sinners shock loss today. How I predicted that he would not win the French Open. How the media are finally calling Sinner out. Poor preparation from Sinners team, they treated him like a machine. Why Sinner will struggle to overcome this loss.

Novak’s biggest opponent now at RG is his own body. Fact. All depends on how he manages the little niggles.
