What are Jannik Sinner’s physical conditions, following the hip injury that forced him to first give up the quarter-finals in Madrid and then to give up the tournament in Rome? During the Roland Garros Media Day, the young Italian analyzed the condition of his hip, after the injury suffered in the Monte Carlo and Madrid tournaments. Sinner also talked about his feelings regarding the Parisian Slam.
“The hip doesn’t worry me. The last tests were positive, I told myself that I would only play under these conditions. It’s not the Slam preparation I’m used to, I hope the first round can help me with my rhythm, but it will be even more the mental aspect is important, accepting what may happen on the court,” he told.

Jannik also explained what pushed him to decide to compete in the Parisian Slam, even with physical preparation and a precarious athletic condition.
“I’m here because it’s an important tournament, I’m trying to learn year after year how to play better on clay. Then it could be fundamental because there will be the Olympics on these courts. However, it’s a Slam and I want to be part of it if my body allows it allows. We decided after the very positive results of the latest tests, we are working hard to get back to 100%. I have done long days of training and I understand that the hip is holding up,” he analyzed.
