Leaving Montreal. Results don’t always go your way. Some positives to take and I start again in Cincinnati next week. Cheers @jackdraper0 . That was good fun
Italy’s
young tennis star Jannik Sinner has revealed that his hip is ‘fine’ ahead of the
Cincinnati Open. The 22-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players
currently playing in men’s tennis along with the likes of Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz
and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Sinner recently
played in the Canadian Open where he had a relatively disappointing outing as
he lost in the quarterfinal to Russia’s Andrey Rublev with a score of 6-3, 1-6,
6-2. During the contest, the current world number one looked uncomfortable and
it seemed that there was a recurrence of his hip injury.
However,
Sinner was recently quoted in a report where he stated that his hip is ‘fine’
ahead of the mega-event. The San Candido-born star further stated that he is ‘not
scared’ to take part in the competition, so soon ahead of the fourth and final Grand
Slam of the year which will begin at the end of August.
"I feel
pretty good,” he said. “Obviously I had almost a week without training before
Montreal and then I played for two or three days in a row, more than usual.
That could have had a potential impact on the hip. But I'm not worried or
scared. The hip is fine, I can't wait to get back on the court here in
Cincinnati. I think my season is very, very positive and I want to continue to
build on that. If you want to keep this position, I have to continue to
improve. And if you want to improve, you have to improve more than the others.”
Sinner is having a fabulous season and has produced some impressive performances. His best outing came at the start of the year, when he lifted his first and, until now, only Grand Slam title in Melbourne. He defeated Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final in a five-set
thrilling contest with a score of 3–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–3.

- Done, looks good!
AceOfBase17-09-2024 - FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
