Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner has solid doubt on his French Open participation, with the world No.2 saying he’ll solely compete at Roland Garoos later this month if he totally recovers from a hip situation.
Sinner sustained the harm at Madrid and pulled out of his quarter-final towards Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime final week, earlier than the Italian determined to skip the Rome event which runs from May 8-19.
The 22-year-old, who claimed his maiden grand slam title in Melbourne in January, mentioned the harm was extra critical than initially suspected.
“At Roland Garros, I’ll only play if I’m 100 per cent if there’s any doubt we have to see,” Sinner instructed reporters.
“Some injuries can be prevented, some can’t. So far we’ve done a great job, last year I played a whole season without injuries and also in this season so far.”
Sinner mentioned he may prioritise his well being over the yr’s second grand slam, which begins on May 26.
“Now I’ll have a period without playing… we need to see how to work from next week onwards,” Sinner added.
“Preparation for Roland Garros will clearly not be optimal. We’ll give our best to get there in the best possible conditions to compete, but playing a grand slam without matches in Rome isn’t easy.
“With the MRI we noticed that one thing is not 100 per cent OK. However, now we have all the things beneath management. If it would not get 100 per cent cured, I’ll cease just a little longer. Taking care of the physique is extra vital than all the things else.”
