There’s a screw loose at the Australian Open: Sinner’s win over Rune was delayed by a net problem
Associated PressMELBOURNE, Australia — The screw holding the net in place at the Australian Open’s main stadium got jarred loose during defending champion Jannik Sinner’s fourth-round victory against Holger Rune on Monday, delaying play for about 20 minutes early in the fourth set. After finishing his 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win to return to the quarterfinals, Sinner acknowledged the break “was very helpful” on a day that he struggled physically and sought medical attention with the temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Usually when the net breaks, it’s not the bottom,” Sinner said. We just had to wait.” In the meantime, chair umpire Nico Helwerth sent both Sinner and Rune off to the locker room so they did not need to sit on the sideline in the afternoon heat.
