Jannik Sinner went to extreme lengths to make sure Jesper De Jong was fully supported after the Dutchman suffered a nasty injury during their match at the Italian Open. In the fifth game of the second set, De Jong slipped on the clay surface and tumbled to the floor.
Sinner, who won the point as a result of De Jong’s fall, raced to the other side of the court to ensure his opponent was okay. He crouched at his side until medics appeared to lead De Jong off the court. Laughing as he picked himself up, De Jong had seemingly only suffered a minor knock to his right wrist and arm. However, Sinner still insisted on helping while the 24-year-old received treatment.
