Roddick: Alcaraz mistakenly when comforting sinner

The final of the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati on August 18 ended soon after only about 20 minutes, when Sinner gave up halfway due to illness. At that time, the Italian player was being led by Alcaraz 5-0 and obviously not in the best form, making more defective errors than usual. This action is praised by a large number of fans, as a evidence of a sporty and noble spiritual evidence between the two tennis players who are dominating the world tennis.

However, Roddick said that Alcaraz should not do that. "Maybe it's just sick of the day, but I don't care. They don't need to hug each other on the net, even though both are polite players and I really like them." "If I was the coach of Alcaraz, I would tell him to 'Go away! Don't come close to Jannik, no need to ask if he's okay. Ignore the photos taken the same ritual. Don't get close to him. Carlos, stay away if he's sick! ' "

Roddick Mong Sinner will quickly recover to the United States. He said: "Hopefully Sinner will be healthy for the Grand Slam at the end of the year. If he has a virus that lasts 4 or 5 days ... I don't want to say that at all. Because of that, Jannik will be very difficult to prepare physically ".

after the championship Cincinnati, Sinner also admitted to being unwell and causing fans to disappoint. "Thank you for cheering me in the yard and from afar, your support is the whole world for me. Congratulations Carlos and his team, this season he plays excellent and I wish you the best in the future. Now is a resting time a few days before returning to practice ", Italian player wrote.
