“What is happening to Sinner?” is the question accompanying Jannik’s withdrawal from the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati and also raises some questions ahead of the US Open. Trying to clarify is Gianni Daniele, president of the medical commission of the Federtennis and for years team manager of the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup: “Jannik took a rest phase after Wimbledon, then resumed rather intense training to prepare for the hard court, a work that stresses the joints — he explains — The knee, the hip, the ankles, everything related to movement.” Adding that after a stop “tendon inflammations can occur”.
The problem, according to the doctor, should not be read as a warning sign: “I believe it is a precautionary choice, not a serious problem to worry about.” Also because Sinner “loves” hard courts and it is precisely on these surfaces “that he achieved his first important results.” Daniele also sees a clear physical evolution compared to the past. “If we look at videos from a few years ago, even from the 2023 US Open, we find a different player. Now Jannik is formed, structured, with a physical calibration suitable for his level of play”.

The issue, therefore, would mainly be the management of the return after Wimbledon. “A consolidated world number one does not go to a 1000 to train, play two rounds and go back home,” notes Daniele, who believes that in New York Sinner should arrive “perfectly fit”. But beware of the early rounds: “There will be risks, we saw it also at Wimbledon, but I believe these are calculated risks.” Finally, the comparison with Carlos Alcaraz. For Daniele, the Spaniard is in a more delicate situation: “From Spain, it was not clear what kind of wrist injury there was.” And he adds a hypothesis: “Doubts would begin to prevail in his mind.” A situation that, according to the doctor, risks depriving Sinner as well “of an opponent of immense class”.
