Sinner returns to the court after retirement: the Italian tennis player has decided not to participate in the last Masters 1000 of the season due to a virus
At the last Masters 1000 of the season, the one in Paris Bercy, Jannik Sinner will not participate. A mild virus knocked out the Italian, who decided to withdraw before taking the court. But the season, fortunately for us who admire his play, is not over.
Two Slams won plus other tournaments brought home without a hitch. It would be a framed 2024 for Jannik who, however, still struggles with that Clostebol positivity that caused him to lose, and still causes him to lose, sleep while awaiting a final judgment that has not yet arrived. Who knows how it will turn out: logic would have it that he should not be disqualified, and several times in these columns we have told you the reasons why. But there is Wada in the way, so we really don’t know how it might turn out. Leaving that aside, as mentioned a few lines above for Jannik the year is not over yet: there are two very important dates to honor with the usual goal, that of winning.
Sinner returns to the field: here are the last appointments
It’s not long before the Atp Finals in Turin: from Nov. 10 to 17, Sinner, along with the other 7 finishing in the top eight of the world rankings, will compete in a fascinating tournament in Piedmont. Last year the Italian lost in the final to Djokovic: an opportunity not only for redemption but also to prove again to everyone that he is the strongest in the world right now, despite some saying Alcaraz has more potential.
After the Finals, Sinner will join the defending champion Italian team for the Davis Cup, which will take place Nov. 19-24 in Malaga. The Azzurri’s goal is clear: to reconfirm themselves after last year’s historic feat: the summoned players, led by captain Filippo Volandri, will be dragged onto the court by Jannik. The first rival will be Argentina. And everyone is obviously dreaming of what could be a final against Spain, perhaps in a confrontation with Rafa Nadal, who after the tournament in his homeland will close his extraordinary career. In short, one more month of fire before a bit of a break to prepare for the Australian Open that will bathe 2025.
