After Novak Djokovic and Yannick Sinner underwent lengthy medical timeouts, Australian Open officials were urged to "strictly monitor" the medical timeouts at the event.
In the quarter-finals against Alcaraz, Djokovic appeared to be unwell early in the match, calling for a medical timeout after dropping serve 4-5 in the first set.
He left the court for treatment and returned with a thick bandage on his left thigh, but lost the first set to Alcaraz.
But Djokovic then bounced back strongly to win the match 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. So, this also raises more aboutUse a medical timeout to interfere with your opponent's questioning.
The day before Djokovic requested a medical timeout, Sinner also took a longer medical timeout against Rune.
Halfway through the third set, both the physiotherapist and the doctor were on the court to treat Sinner, who then returned to the locker room for further treatment.
Sinner's medical timeout lasted 11 minutes, and he eventually won in four sets in the fourth round.
Former Australian Open tournament director McThee thinksWhen it comes to medical timeouts, event organizers should strictly follow the rules. When asked about this, he told The Times:
"I don't really like this situation. I believe that treatment should be done on the field, unless privacy concerns are involved. And the allotted time is three minutes, that's all.
'I don't think it's fair to interrupt the game for six minutes, or even 10 minutes. The rule is 3 minutes, so it should be strictly regulated. ”
In ESPN's broadcast of Djokovic's match against Alcaraz, John McEnroe said: "This is not the first time we've seen this kind of routine. Don't be fooled. ”
But McNamee felt that Sinner's medical interruption was even worse.
Sinner had a phase in the game where his hands trembled uncontrollably,After the game, he said he was not injured and was being treated for an unspecified "health issue".
McTeae (former doubles world No.1) added: "Yannick just did it the day before, and I can't believe people are pointing the finger at Novak. I mean, 11 and a half minutes (of the medical pause) — spare me. ”
Remember the Dutch player Van . Dezande Sirop also had a similar physical problem with Sinner in a match. After applying for a medical timeout, he chose to withdraw from the game after a few beats. It was an ATP 250 final, and we didn't finish a set. Rune's first Tour title came with such ease.
I checked the information, and it was the Munich event in April 2022.
