Jannik Sinner and the'cancelled training: Renzo Furlan has no doubts
The decision by Jannik Sinner’s staff to cancel the training session originally scheduled for 5 p.m. Italian time on Tuesday continues to cause discussion among fans and insiders. The many reporters in attendance were told only that the South Tyrolean would not be showing up unlike previously communicated, with no further explanation.
Trying to give a key to the interpretation was Renzo Furlan, who speaking to ‘Sky Sport‘ had his say on the evolutions of the day following the passage to the quarterfinals reached on Monday night, thanks to Grigor Dimitrov’s injury. “It was probably decided not to overload Sinner, not only physically but also in terms of expectation” said the’former Top 20.
“The discourse is simple, today was the day to be dedicated to recovery – added Furlan -. Maybe that is why, in the end, it was decided to leave him quiet, there will be a way to test Sinner’s condition before Wednesday’s game. We must remember that his activity, after returning from the long stop, has been extraordinary, between games and training he has had few breaks: yesterday he had this difficulty, it is right to think about physical recovery first”.
The elbow problem originated in the very first game of the match between Jannik Sinner and Grigor Dimitrov, a difficulty that inevitably affected the South Tyrolean during the match, which the Bulgarian would then come to lead after two sets, before he in turn injured himself and was forced to retire. Sinner underwent, Tuesday morning, an MRI, on the result of which, however, there is the utmost confidentiality by the staff of the world number 1.
