The riddle of Turin: Sinner is put to torture

They were scenes that moved the tennis world. Matteo Berrettini, celebrated local hero at the ATP Finals in Turin, had to go on Sunday gave up early in his first match against Alexander Zverev . The reason: an abdominal muscle strain. The Roman shed tears on the pitch and later spoke at the press conference “Worst day of his career” . Knowing full well that further participation in the finals - in which only the eight best players of the year take part - is in jeopardy. If Berrettini could no longer play, Jannik Sinner would step into the breach. The man from Sexten is the substitute in Turin and would play the remaining preliminary round games against Hubert Hurkacz (on Tuesday) and Daniil Medvedev (Thursday) if the 25-year-old were to forego. At the moment it is still unclear whether Berrettini will play or not. Berrettini wants to try everything On Monday, Italy's best tennis player underwent two examinations. But a decision has not yet been made. “My team and the doctors are evaluating the results of the examinations and the situation in general,” wrote the current world number 7 on social media on Monday evening. “I'll let you know when I've made a decision,” he sends a message to his fans. The 25-year-old clearly didn't train on Monday. In any case, Berrettini wants to leave no stone unturned to still take part in the finals. His match against Hubert Hurkacz is therefore on the program on Tuesday at 21 p.m. The Italian wants to decide at short notice whether another mission is possible or not. In any case, Jannik Sinner, who trained with Novak Djokovic on Monday, has an exciting Tuesday waiting for him, in which he could unexpectedly get an appearance at the prestigious ATP Finals.
