Dimitrov then walked to the bench to continue receiving treatment before leaving the court for medical timeouts. After a while he returns to court to shake the criminal’s hand and concludes that he cannot continue playing.

The fear of the sinner’s own injury

Spelling more trouble for the sinner was a medical break during the second set. The sinner collapsed awkwardly in his right arm and was treated with his elbow during his break.

“I don’t know what to say,” Thinner said. “He’s an incredible player. I think we all saw this today. He’s been very unlucky over the past few years.

“An incredible player, a good friend of mine too. …I’m honestly saying he’s seen him in this position. If he could play in the next round, he would be right – but now I hope he has a quick recovery.
