Jannik Sinner may not play Miami Open after Indian Wells injury scare as streak ends against Carlos Alcaraz

Jannik Sinner may not play next week's Miami Open he admits after injury scares aplenty as his streak ended against Carlos Alcaraz at the 2024 Indian Wells Open in a 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 win in favour of the Spaniard who will face Daniil Medvedev this evening in California.
But for Sinner, he said he will only play Miami if he's 100% albeit in his words, it is the more important out of the two Sunshine Double events which shows that he may push through and try and play no matter what. He was seen flexing his leg at one point and fell over on his elbow rolling it. But of course with the adrenaline still to wear off, he wasn't 100% sure how it would fare with Miami only days away.
“It’s for sure not the ending that I wanted, but, you know, playing against him, it’s always tough,” the 22-year-old said.
“I tried to, yeah, to play obviously good tennis, which I have done, especially the first set. Then I made a couple of mistakes. You know, the momentum has changed. He raised his level.”
“That’s it. Obviously tough one to swallow, but, you know, hopefully we will see in the next days if physically I will be good for Miami, which is for me personally the most important.”
“At the moment, I feel a little bit of everything on my body (smiling). But it’s normal. It’s sport. You know, you have to accept this."
“I had some problems, just small problems, but it was okay throughout until the third set. Then when I fell, I felt a little bit the elbow because I fell over the elbow and I rolled over. So was for me after tough to serve.
“But he makes things very difficult to play obviously. He puts a lot of pressure on you. You know, he changed a couple of things today, like, tactically, which I have to watch out for the next time. I have to improve couple of things and trying to beat him again.
“I think that’s also the good and positive side of this sport.”
