Saiyidah, 36, said: “I saw Nadal first but he was already swarmed with people. When I went up to Alcaraz, I was telling him – I’m so sorry, I have to be one of these people who annoy you – and he was so nice and said it’s okay.

The Singapore contingent have been allocated 44 beds and all their rooms have been equipped with air coolers or portable air-conditioners to beat an expected heatwave.
