New retirement for Jannik Sinner: the Italian national explains why.

Jannik Sinner was forced to miss the Hamburg tournament.

No Hamburg for Jannik Sinner, who after an excellent Wimbledon will start again in Umag, Croatia, taking a few more days off. The Italian explained on social media why he is forfeiting: “After discussions with my team, we made the decision not to play Hamburg. I twisted my ankle slightly when I fell in the quarterfinal against Djokovic at Wimbledon, and as a precaution we decided it was better to take a little more time.”

“My next tournament will be in Umag. I was looking forward to playing in Hamburg, which is a city and a tournament I really like.” After Umag the season will start in North America: on cement Sinner will try to climb the Atp rankings to enter the Finals at the end of the season.

Jannik Sinner, born in San Candido on August 16, 2001, despite having achieved excellent results in skiing since childhood, decided at the age of 13 to devote himself exclusively to tennis, moving to Bordighera, at the court of Riccardo Piatti. A choice that will prove successful, as Sinner is the youngest Italian tennis player ever to enter the top 100 (October 2019) and to win an Atp title in the Open era (Sofia 2020). In addition, along with Matteo Berrettini, Jannik is the only Italian tennis player to have reached at least the round of 16 in all four Slams. For him, 2022 was the breakthrough year: he left Piatti to rely on Vagnozzi.
