In the sights of Kim Clijsters, former Belgian tennis champion, is Jannik Sinner: the suspicion is that behind the withdrawal of the world number 1 from the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Montreal there is something more than just the simple desire to rest. After the Wimbledon triumph on July 13, the Italian chose to extend the break from official competitions. The return is scheduled for mid-August, at the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati, a key stage on the road to the US Open.

A decision on which Clijsters dwelled in the podcast Love All, where the Belgian explained: “I think this shows that maybe there is something happening behind the scenes that we don’t know about. Maybe he is simply not ready, neither physically nor mentally, after winning Wimbledon, to immediately return to compete again at such an intense level, because these tournaments take place in a very short period of time. There is a lot of tennis played, with very intense matches and I think it is a really very smart choice. Knowing the team around him, Darren Cahill and the way they work, I am sure they have thought about it a lot,” emphasized the Belgian.

Jannik Sinner, the latest count: 61 million euros
Jannik Sinner has already set his sights back on the hard courts. In Monte Carlo, the world number one has resumed training …
For Clijsters, therefore, the priority is to arrive in the best possible condition at the American Slam: “When making these decisions, you always have in mind what will come next, and winning the US Open is obviously his main goal. The next few weeks in the United States will be very important and, if the goal is to arrive ready at that tournament, you have to avoid arriving mentally or physically exhausted just to try to win another Masters and break a record. I think he will break many more records, in fact he has already broken many. I believe it is very smart to focus on what really matters and not get distracted by the idea of being the greatest number one ever to do this or that. I think it was a very wise choice, even though I am sure it was not easy,” concludes Kim Clijsters.
