Why doesn’t the top seed want to take the lucky win?
Yannick Cinard was looking forward to the loss; but in the end, luck saved him, which was bad luck for Grigor Dimitrov.
Why doesn’t the top seed want to take the lucky win?
Cinard faced 19th seed Dimitrov in the last 16 of Wimbledon last night. The top-ranked Italian lost the first two sets (3-6, 5-7) but went on to face Bulgarian Dimitrov. Dimitrov fell to the court with a right upper chest muscle injury in the third set at 2-2. Cinard rushed to him. In the end, Dimitrov could not continue playing. He had to leave Center Court in tears. Cinard does not feel that he won the match even though he reached the quarterfinals.
Cinard is not happy that his friend Dimitrov has retired due to injury, despite becoming the ninth male player in the Open era to reach the quarterfinals of seven consecutive Grand Slams. That was clear on Center Court. After helping Dimitrov off the court, Sinar returned. Standing on the court, he told the media, “I don’t consider this a victory. This is an unfortunate moment for all of us. Dimitrov could not recover even with immediate first aid. His injury tendency is also known from the morning. Dimitrov had to withdraw from five consecutive Grand Slams due to injury. Sinar said, “He has suffered a lot in the last few Grand Slams due to injury. It is very difficult to see him get injured again. How much he loves the game is clear from his reaction. We did not want to see such an end. It is painful.”
