“I don’t know what to say because he is an incredible player. I think we all saw him today,” said Sinner, who was next to a tears of Dimitrov while he was attended by the Bulgarian.

“It has been so unfortunate in the last two years. He is an incredible player, also a good friend of mine, and we understand each other very well even off the pitch.

“Seeing him in this position … if there would be the possibility that he could play in the next round, if he deserves it. Now I hope he has a speedy recovery. Very, very unfortunate on his side.

“I don’t take it at all as a victory … just an unfortunate moment to attend all of us.”

Sinner later told journalists that he would have had a magnetic resonance imaging to verify their injury.

“It happened very early in the game, the first game. It was a rather unfortunate fall. We checked the videos a little, and it didn’t seem difficult, but I still felt it much, above all serving and right,” he added.

“So let’s see … tomorrow we will check with magnetic resonance imaging to see if there is something serious and then we try to regulate it.”

Sinner next faces the tenth American seed Ben Shelton, who beat another Italian to Lorenzo Sonego 3-6 6-1 7-6 (1) 7-5 to advance in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon for the first time, as well as Flavio Cobolli, who knocked Marin Cilic 6-4 6-7 (4) 7-6 (3).
