Phlegmatic Jannik Sinner has brushed off suffering one of the great boilovers in tennis annals, adamant he won't be deflected from chasing more glory after crashing out of the French Open, downed by an Argentine underdog and the searing heat in Paris.
Seemingly moments away from being able to retreat to the locker room with another win under his belt, Sinner led by two sets and 5-1 before his second-round match descended into a dizzy nightmare on Thursday.
Heatstroke at 33C melted his superman powers and the world No.1 bowed out 3-6 2-6 7-5 6-1 6-1 to world No.56 Juan Manuel Cerundolo.
