Jannik Sinner defeated Jan-Lennard Struff 7-5, 7-6, 6-3 in the Wimbledon quarterfinals on July 7 to advance to the semifinals. The world number one discussed his preparation for the warm conditions after earlier struggles with heat.
Sinner said he and his team focused on addressing issues from his French Open exit last month. He noted feeling comfortable physically during the match despite temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius.
The Italian added that conditions at Wimbledon felt manageable compared to the Australian Open, where heat rises from the hard courts. He highlighted the dry air in London as a key difference.
Wimbledon introduced a heat policy this year allowing a ten-minute break between certain sets if the index exceeds 30.1 degrees Celsius and a player requests it. No players have withdrawn due to the heat so far.
