Eliot Spizzirri suggested the implementation of the heat rule during his defeat to Jannik Sinner was ‘funny timing’.<\/p>\n
The youngster was on top in the third set of yesterday’s match, with Sinner struggling due to cramp in the sweltering conditions.<\/p>\n
However, the blistering heat led to a stoppage of around 10 minutes, after which the tide turned.<\/p>\n
Spizziri said: “Yeah, I don\u2019t know if he got saved by it.<\/p>\n
“You know, I smiled a little bit when the heat rule went into effect, just because it was kind of funny timing as I went up 3-1.<\/p>\n
“But at the same time, you know, the game at 2-1 in the third set was when the heat, when it hit, I think it\u2019s 5.0, which means that the heat rule is in effect.<\/p>\n
“So whenever that game was over, whether I broke or whether he held, we were going to close the roof.<\/p>\n
“It was just funny that right when I broke and he was wobbling, that it happened to happen that way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eliot Spizzirri suggested the implementation of the heat rule during his defeat to Jannik Sinner was ‘funny timing’.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":720658,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[35772,4723,215147,215148,208345,6359,6740,27106,4718,4295,79,1068,31635,5838,31638,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-720657","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-aryna-sabalenka","9":"tag-australian-open","10":"tag-australian-open-highlights","11":"tag-australian-open-live-stream","12":"tag-australian-open-news","13":"tag-carlos-alcaraz","14":"tag-coco-gauff","15":"tag-daniil-medvedev","16":"tag-jannik-sinner","17":"tag-novak-djokovic","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-tennis","20":"tag-tennis-section","21":"tag-tennis-news","22":"tag-tennis-scores","23":"tag-uk","24":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115958191547380638","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/720658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
