Jannik Sinner skips Rotterdam
No title defense for Jannik Sinner in Rotterdam. After triumphing for the second consecutive time at the Australian Open, in fact, the world number one has announced his forfeit from the'ATP 500 in the Netherlands, scheduled for February 1-9, 2025.
The South Tyrolean, therefore, will not defend the 500 points he earned thanks to his 2024 victory in the final over Alex de Minaur and will take a well-deserved rest period to recover his energy. The San Candido native’s return to the court would be scheduled for the Doha tournament, scheduled for Feb. 17.
"After consulting with my team, we had to make the difficult decision to withdraw from the ABN AMRO Open. My body needs time to rest after the long experience in Australia. I have wonderful memories of winning the title in front of a fantastic crowd in Rotterdam Ahoy last year and I hope to return there soon" these are the words of the Italian quoted from a note issued by the Dutch tournament.
"The Australian Open è was long and hard for Jannik. It's a pity for him and for us that the efforts made will not allow him to participate in Rotterdam" this, however, was the retort from the tournament director of Rotterdam Richard Krajicek.
