Jannik Sinner’s collapse from heat exhaustion has inspired millions of Singaporeans who also feel like dying after walking ten metres to the coffee shop.

As the world number one exited the court looking like a limp chwee kueh, local tennis enthusiasts immediately signed up for the French Open, confident that their ability to sweat profusely is a professional skill.

"If a world-class athlete can't tahan the sun, my experience standing at a bus stop in Tuas makes me a god," said one Yishun resident.

The exit of the top seeds has triggered a surge of confidence among men who haven't run since their last mandatory IPPT session.

Sport Singapore has reportedly suggested that Sinner should have worn a cooling vest made of frozen Otah to survive the Parisian climate.

Meanwhile, local fans are praising the Italian for having a name that describes exactly how it feels to skip a gym session for fried carrot cake.
