Sinner set for exhibition match in London heat wave ahead of Wimbledon

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner is scheduled to play an exhibition match amid a heat wave, just under a month after the Italian star struggled with dizziness in a stunning second-round loss at the French Open. Sinner is set to play in the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic against Cameron Norrie with southern England under a “red warning” for extreme heat issued by Britain’s national weather service. The early afternoon temperature in Fulham, where the event is being held, was 33 C and 91.4 F. Defending Wimbledon champion Sinner wore a cooling vest while practising earlier at the All England Club.
