The Italian stared at the starting door with 3-6, 5-7, 2-2 before the Bulgarian 19th seed pulled up with his right chest muscle and could not continue.
Sinner hurried to his help, but his 34-year-old opponent was hardly able to recognize the warm ovation of the crowd.
“To be honest, I don’t know what to say,” said Sinner. “He is an incredible player, I think we have seen all this today.
“He has had so bad luck in recent years. An incredible player, also a good friend of mine. We also understand each other very well outside the field.
“See him in this position, to be honest, if there was a chance that he could play the next round, he would earn it.”
