The clay season is coming to an end in Europe and the most important tournament is already on the horizon, with significant concern. Jannik Sinnernumber 2 in the world ranking, He suffers a physical problem and there is shock in tennis because he could miss Roland Garros on the advice of doctors.
For some weeks now, the Italian has been suffering from an injury to his right hip that worsened in recent days and prohibited him from participating in the Rome Masters 1000 that is currently taking place. AND It seems that the situation is more worrying than imagined and its presence in the second Grand Slam of the year, which will begin on May 20, is in danger.
In his native Italy the alarm is relevant, as the media portrays it. “The hip injury is not believed to be serious, but given the delicate nature of the joint, doctors recommend caution,” he reported this Tuesday. La Gazzetta dello Sport. The newspaper even stated that Sinner visited a medical center in Turin last Friday where he underwent various studies and performed exercises in a pool and in the gym.
The goodbye that Jannik Sinner may suffer
In the same vein, La Gazzetta dello Sport added about the talented 22-year-old: “The stay in Turin should end this Wednesday and, after further tests and evaluations, the team will decide whether to move to Paris. For now, Most likely, the Italian number 1 will decide not to play the Slam on clay. “He would risk arriving in Paris with very little training, without being competitive enough and with the risk of not fully recovering.”
This adds to the player’s own statements as soon as he arrived in Rome to announce that he was withdrawing from the tournament: “We will carefully evaluate my condition and if I have to stop for longer. I would like to play every day, every tournament, because I love tennis. , “But the season is long and showing up unprepared for a Slam, with long five-set matches, could be counterproductive.”
A no small issue is that the Grand Slams represent greater wear and tear than any tournament, since all matches are played in the best of five sets. To make matters worse, the French championship represents a great expectation for Sinner, since, in the event that Novak Djokovic loses early, it would give the Italian the chance to be the new number 1 in the world without playing. Although in the rehabilitation that he is carrying out in his country he has not yet carried out work on the field, the next few days will be decisive to know if he is in a position to travel to Paris. If he drops out, the winner of the 2024 Australian Open would return for the start of the grass-court tour, with Wimbledon as his top goal.
