Jannik Sinner sets alarm bells ringing ahead of Roland Garros: "I didn't think my injury was so serious, I don't know if I'll play"
ATP
Jannik Sinner had to withdraw from the Madrid Open 2024 before playing his quarterfinal match. The Italian suffered a hip injury and had to give up competing, not only for the ATP 1000 in the Spanish capital, but also for the Rome Masters, where he was going to be the great local hope. All this left open the question of whether he could make it to Roland Garros.
However, taking into account his latest statements in Rome, collected by José Morón, from Punto de Break, through his official X account, Sinner has set off all the alarms, and right now the world number 2 is more out than in to compete in the French Open for the second Grand Slam in 2024.
"We thought it wasn't that serious, but apparently it is. I don't want to say exactly what problem I have. I don't know if I will play in Paris. I will if I'm 100 percent. I don't want to miss any more time out if the problem gets worse," says Sinner.
It is a shame the injury for a Jannik Sinner who had started 2024 in spectacular form. The Italian has been the best player on the circuit by far, winning the Australian Open and the Miami Open. We will have to see in what condition he arrives at Roland Garros, but it would certainly be a sensitive casualty in a tournament that is still unclear whether Carlos Alcaraz will be able to play due to his forearm discomfort.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
