Sinner Set for Exhibition Match in London Heat Wave Ahead of Wimbledon
The defending Wimbledon champion will face Cameron Norrie as Britain’s weather service warns of 37 C to 40 C temperatures and high humidity.
- On Wednesday, top-ranked Jannik Sinner faces Cameron Norrie in the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic in Fulham as southern England remains under a "red warning" for extreme heat, with early afternoon temperatures reaching 33 C .
- Britain's weather service advised residents to "keep out of the sun and avoid any exercise between 11 am-3 pm when the sun is strongest," warning that temperatures in the shade could rise to 40 Celsius in some places.
- Sinner wore a cooling vest while practising earlier Wednesday at the All England Club, seeking to avoid repeating his recent loss in Paris where temperatures on Court Philippe-Chatrier rose to 32 C .
- Wimbledon starts on Monday with expected temperatures of 24 C , though defending champion Sinner will compete without Carlos Alcaraz, who is missing the tournament because of a wrist injury.
- Sinner enters the grass-court major as defending champion after beating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in last year's final, positioning him as favorite despite recent physical challenges from extreme heat exposure.
