Italy’s Jannik Sinner is reportedly in serious doubt for the
upcoming French Open. The second Grand Slam of the year will be played from May
26 to June 09 in the French capital city of Paris where players from all over
the world will battle to secure the ultimate prize.
The 22-year-old is often regarded as one of the most
highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s tennis in the singles
category along with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner is having a fabulous 2024
season where he has been simply unstoppable. He won his first Grand Slam this
year as well after beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in a five-set thriller
with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
However, all of that might change in the near future as per
the latest report, the current world number two is in serious doubt about participating at the Roland Garros. Sinner has struggled with a hip injury which pushed him
to withdraw just before the start of the Madrid Open quarterfinal. That was not
it as the current world number two also withdrew from the Rome Open. The report
stated that the San Candido-born might consider not taking part in the
mega-event as taking part in the event without proper preparation might have a
risk of aggravating the hip injury.
