Jannik Sinner knocked out: Andy Roddick is furious.
Jannik Sinner ko: Andy Roddick è furious
The alarming explosion of injuries among top tennis players is causing insiders to debate. In particular, the physical problems of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz just weeks before Roland Garros threaten to deprive the sport of its brightest stars at the hottest time of the season, with the Paris Slam coming up and the Wimbledon Slam getting closer. Not to mention the Olympics scheduled under the Eiffel Tower in the summer.
Former U.S. tennis player Andy Roddick, speaking of Jannik Sinner's troubles, pointed out in his podcast 'Served with Andy Roddick' the real culprit of these stoppages, in his opinion: the crowded ATP calendar, which affects athletes'lives by forcing them to move from place to place without the necessary physical rest.
"Sinner was injured, he aggravated his hip problems by working out during the Madrid tournament because he had no other time to do so,", pointed out Roddick, who è a great admirer of Sinner. "He wants to be number one in the world, and to do that you have to play tournaments. Not everyone is Novak and can win three Slams a year and be number one. Itè s not a realistic thing, especially when you are young and trying to reach the top for the first time. You have to get busy".
"There's a lot of stress, the fact that Sinner feels the need to do a full workout in the gym during a tournament gives you pause. Maybe you shouldn’t do both in the same week of competition", are the words reported by thesportsrush.com
