Holger Rune didn't have anything against Jannik Sinner taking a medical timeout but noted that a lengthy break ruined his rhythm. After the world No. 1 started to physically struggle late in the second set of their Australian Open round-of-16 match - the Italian's hands were shaking and his movement was impacted - the Dane won that set and also had the upper hand early in the third set.

Holger Rune has spoken out after he was left to suffer in the heat while ailing world No.1 Jannik Sinner benefitted from a lengthy medical timeout in their fourth-round clash at the Australian Open.

Jannik Sinner is through to the Australian Open quarterfinals after a drama-filled fourth-round win over Holger Rune. World No. 1 Sinner won in four sets, 6-3. 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, but this did not tell the story of a contest defined by illness.
