Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are facing off in the decisive match of the ATP Finals.
Midway through the fourth game, with the score at 2-1 in favor of the Spaniard, the umpire stopped play. A spectator in the stands was taken ill. Reports indicate that someone in the crowd fell and screamed. Medical assistance is being provided to the affected individual.
Notably, Jannik Sinner appealed to the umpire: "What's going on this week? This has happened so many times already."
It's worth noting that this is Sinner's third consecutive ATP Finals championship match. In 2023, he lost to Djokovic, but last year he defeated Taylor Fritz. Meanwhile, Alcaraz has reached the final of this prestigious tournament for the first time in his career.
