Sinner's chances of getting a World Cup ticket continue to decline

The injury that the 21-year-old sustained on Saturday in the semi-finals of the ATP tournament in Sofia when the score was 2:3 in the third set against Holger Rune is worse than expected. Not only did Sinner have to cancel this week's ATP 3 tournament in Astana, the Puster native will also be missing from the ATP 500 tournament in Florence next week.

When the ATP tour returned to Tuscany after a 28-year break, Sinner would have been number 1 in the field and the crowd's favorite. No participation in Florence “Frustrating to have to give up last week. I spoke to my doctor and he advised me that I need some time to recover. Unfortunately that means I'll miss the tournament in Florence next week. I have time to rest and come back even stronger. Thanks for all the messages.” Sinner wrote that on Twitter on Tuesday. Countless fans from all over the world expressed well wishes. “I spoke to my doctor and he advised me that I need some time to recover.” Jannik Sinner Sinner has been unable to finish a match three times this season. In the Miami quarterfinals against Francisco Cerundolo, when the score was 1:4 in the first set, he had to retire due to a blister on his foot. In the round of 1 of the French Open against Andrei Rublew, he injured his knee after dominating the first set. When the score was 1:6, 1:4, 6:0, things couldn't go any further.

And 5 days ago in Sofia he gave up with the score at 7:5, 4:6, 2:5 against Rune because there was no point in continuing to play given the pain in his ankle. Not to forget that Sinner missed the ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam in February due to a Covid-19 infection and then preferred to cancel Marseille as well. Before the round of XNUMX in Indian Wells in March against Nick Kyrgios, Sinner became ill and was unable to play the match against the Australian.

At Wimbledon he slipped in the quarterfinals against Novak Djokovic, lost the match after a 2-0 lead and then skipped the start in Hamburg due to a minor ankle injury. The finals chances Now a sprain on his right ankle is bothering him again. The chances of starting at the ATP Finals from November 13th to 20th in Turin are getting smaller and smaller. In the world rankings since the beginning of the year he is ranked 12th, but this week in Astana Novak Djokovic and Marin Cilic or Karen Khachanow can overtake him. Next week the Sesto native will have to watch idly as the competition collects points.

As of today, Sinner is hoping to get fit again for the ATP 500 tournament in the Wiener Stadthalle (October 23rd to 30th). He then registered for the ATP Masters tournament in Paris-Bercy (October 30th to November 6th).

Even if he missed the ATP Finals, the tennis year wouldn't be over yet. Sinner would be number 1 for the “Azzurri” in the final round of the Davis Cup in Malaga, who will meet the USA of Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals on November 24th. But that is a thing of the future for Sinner. The most important thing now is that he recovers from his ankle injury and can play tennis again without pain.
