Tennis icon John McEnroe made an interesting claim about the physical concerns over Jannik Sinner during the Italian\u2019s second round match at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
World No 1 Sinner<\/a> suffered an alarming physical collapse during his shock five-set loss to Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round at the 2026 French Open.<\/p>\n The four-time Grand Slam champion was leading by two sets to love and 5-1 in the third set, but he won just one more game from this position as his body failed him in the Paris heat.<\/p>\n In his first competitive match since Roland Garros, Sinner defeated Miomir Kecmanovic 4-6, 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-3 in the first round at Wimbledon<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n Sinner is the reigning champion at Wimbledon, having beaten Carlos Alcaraz in last year\u2019s final to secure his maiden crown at the All England Club.<\/p>\n Commentating on the BBC during Sinner\u2019s second round match with Nuno Borges, McEnroe discussed what happened to Sinner in Paris.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was a major freakout in Italy [after Sinner\u2019s Roland Garros loss],\u201d said the seven-time major singles champion.<\/p>\n Wimbledon: John McEnroe makes Novak Djokovic \u2018bluffing\u2019 injury comment \u2013 \u2018I\u2019ve seen this before\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u2018How I beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon\u2019 \u2013 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga looks back on his greatest Wimbledon moment<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

And I bet you they\u2019re still trying to figure it out.<\/p>\n \u201cI think a lot of it is \u2014 you hate to say it \u2014 mental, nerves. And then there is the light skin, the struggle in the heat \u2014 a lot of people do.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to TNT Sports after Sinner\u2019s second round loss at the French Open, McEnroe spoke about the 24-year-old\u2019s cramping issues.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not a new issue. He\u2019s had trouble with this for a couple of years,\u201d said the former world No 1.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is brutal when you have to deal with this kind of heat, but he has had three or four different occasions when he has cramped up.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m assuming that over the course of the last three or four years, they have been doing everything they can possibly do, whether it\u2019s testing or food intake, to work out a way to minimise this issue. I think they will continue to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: John Lloyd says Jannik Sinner \u2018may not be 100%\u2019 and suggests Wimbledon is \u2018wide open\u2019<\/a> The post Wimbledon: John McEnroe says Jannik Sinner\u2019s physical issues are \u2018mainly mental\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tennis icon John McEnroe made an interesting claim about the physical concerns over Jannik Sinner during the Italian\u2019s second round match at Wimbledon.
