Italian says five-set Cerúndolo defeat ‘tough to accept’

Zverev is new favourite for men’s title
Jannik Sinner described his second-round loss at the French Open and the physical difficulties that scuppered him as “tough to accept” considering his form. On Thursday, the world No 1’s body betrayed him as he suffered a monumental 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 defeat by Juan Manuel Cerúndolo of Argentina.
“It’s tough to accept because of the position where I’ve been in and everything considered, but now I have a lot of time to recover,” he said. “I won’t play any tournament on grass before, most likely. Now I really need some time off, recover completely, also mentally, and then be ready to go again for Wimbledon.”
