Italy’s hope of winning gold in the men’s Olympic tournament has taken a blow following the withdrawal of an unwell Jannik Sinner.
The world No.1 has been forced to pull out of the event due to tonsillitis in what is the latest setback for the 22-year-old. Sinner has also been hampered by other various setbacks over the past year which are related to both illness and injury. Given this, should fans of the Australian Open champion be worried?
Ubitennis founder Ubaldo Scanagatta, who is covering the Paris Olympics this year, takes a closer look at Sinner’s health and provides his assessment.
