World No. 1 men’s tennis player Jannik Sinner has made the difficult decision to withdraw from the upcoming Olympic Games. The Italian athlete cited illness as the reason for his withdrawal, revealing that he is currently recovering from tonsillitis. Sinner shared that his doctor advised him against participating in the tennis competition at Roland Garros, leading to his unfortunate absence from the prestigious event.
Expressing his disappointment, the 22-year-old tennis star conveyed his best wishes to his fellow Italian athletes who will be competing in the Olympics. Sinner's absence from the Games comes after his recent participation in Wimbledon, where he faced a tough defeat in the quarterfinals against Russian player Daniil Medvedev.
Sinner was poised to make his Olympic debut, gearing up to compete in both the men’s singles and men’s doubles competitions. However, his health condition has necessitated a period of rest and recovery, prompting him to prioritize his well-being over his Olympic aspirations.
Despite this setback, Sinner remains optimistic about his future in tennis and is focused on making a full recovery to return to the court at his best. The tennis community and fans alike are sending their support and well wishes to Sinner as he navigates this challenging time and looks ahead to his upcoming tournaments.
