Jannik Sinner's retirement from the last tournament provoked reactions from the public and famous tennis figures.
The Italian tennis player has been forced to retire due to cramps in the match against Tallon Griekspoor in the third set of the tournament in Shanghai. Although Sinner had a strong desire to make it big, aware that his path to the trophy is almost open, he eventually had to retire due to cramps.
However, Jannik Sinner is not the only tennis player who made such a move, because high temperatures and humidity created enormous problems, not only for him but also for his colleagues.

Another six players decided to make the same decision, which further shows how difficult it was to get the trophy at the tournament in Shanghai.
The Italian previously retired from some tournaments, most notably in 2025, when he retired while trailing 0-5 against Carlos Alcaraz.
Well-known faces of this sport reacted.
Paolo Bertolucci thinks it's a real shame because Sinner had a good chance to win the trophy. Bertolucci emphasizes that the 24-year-old is a bit fragile and has a lot of problems during the game, but ultimately he still sees the positives and believes that Sinner has a chance to dominate again.
Busy schedule
Finally, Bertolucci spoke about Sinner's busy schedule. Questioning whether he really needed all this, he stressed that even though he has a shortened season, he still believes that the basic problem has not changed.
Jannik Sinner will think carefully about his next steps and future, with the desire to regain the throne of the ATP list. Whether he will be successful in this, time will tell.
