When you're a world-class tennis player, it's natural to find yourself in bizarre situations. Jannik Sinner beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-3 in the first round of the Six Kings Slam.
The Italian tennis player had no major problems in this match and secured his place in the semi-finals, where he will play against Novak Djokovic.
However, one moment in particular marked this match, or rather its ending.
After the match, Sinner was approached by a fan who apparently asked for his jacket. In the video, the fan can be seen shaking Sinner's hand while pointing to his jacket.
Although the conversation was not recorded by microphones, Sinner seemed a little confused. Not long after, security responded, grabbed the young man and removed him from the court.
Semi-finals: Sinner wants to win
The public is already focusing on the semi-final duel in which the Italian tennis player will be the favorite.
After an unsuccessful adventure in Shanghai, where Sinner had to retire from the match due to severe cramps that caused him great problems, he now faces a new challenge.
During the previous match against Tallon Griekspoor, extreme weather conditions disrupted his plans, just like most tennis players.
Speaking to the media, Jannik said that the cramps were caused by a mental factor, but that he is now looking towards the next tournament and that he learned important lessons from the last match.
"I talked with my team - from that point of view, I wasn't perfect, but now everything's fine.
The mistake was mine, the heat and humidity got me down. You learn from these things - cramps can happen, and I was one of many to suffer from them."-Jannik said.
Facing Novak Djokovic is nothing new for him, but it will be interesting to see if the Italian can be as dominant as in previous duels against Novak and possibly pull off a victory.
