Sinner accused Zverev of making excuses after 2020 Roland Garros win

Jannik Sinner beat Alexander Zverev at the French Open, also known as Roland Garros, in 2020.

Zverev said he had felt ill and dizzy during the match.

Sinner said he respected Zverev as a player but did not accept his comments about the loss.

He argued that Zverev had contradicted himself, pointing to how much he ran in the third and fourth sets.

Sinner said the illness claims seemed like an excuse for defeat.

Sinner later lost in the fourth round to Rafael Nadal, who went on to win the tournament.

The match was an early example of Sinner speaking sharply about a rival after a win.
