Sinner: "After the match against Rune, I took a blood test".
Jannik Sinner appeared in the press conference after his easy win over Alex de Minaur. Having qualified for the semi-finals, he gave an update on his health.
He declared: "I feel that the illness has disappeared. This morning, I felt much better. Playing in the afternoon helped a little.
I've had a good night's rest over the last two nights, so I'm feeling much better now. After the Holger match, I had a blood test. Everything's fine now.
Sometimes you don't feel well one day, but today I woke up feeling much better.
Playing without heat helps (it was 13 degrees cooler than his match against Rune), especially when you feel like this.
I'm not perfectly well yet, but it's not something I'm worried about; in a few days, I'll be fine."
