World No 1 Jannik Sinner saw his hopes of a maiden Wimbledon title ended by Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Medvedev overcame a struggling Sinner to dump the top seed out of the tournament and reach a second-consecutive semi-final.
Sinner appeared to be feeling unwell, holding his head in his hands after calling the doctor early in the third set, and being helped off court for a medical time-out.
A possible retirement looked on the cards but Sinner gradually improved on the resumption and may have won the match had he taken one of two set points in the third.
He managed to forced a deciding set but it was Medvedev who eventually claimed a 6-7 (9-7) 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 6-3 victory after exactly four hours to set up a clash with either defending champion Carlos Alcaraz or American Tommy Paul.
It snapped a Medvedev’s five-match losing sequence to Sinner and avenged his bitter defeat by the Italian in this year’s Australian Open final, when he squandered a two-set lead.
