Defending champion Jannik Sinner looked to be heading out of the Australian Open until he was rescued by a medical timeout.

Sinner 's hands could be seen shaking violently as he held a towel over his face at a changeover early in the third set.

The doctor attended Sinner at the next changeover, and he went off court for a six-minute consultation.

Rune in his own words was left “sitting in the heat, cooking out there” Rune acknowledged that he had been naive not to leave the court as well during that first lengthy stoppage.
