Jannik Sinner serene after exams at San Raffaele: how it went

Jannik Sinner serene and calm on his way out of San Raffaele Hospital, where he had gone on Monday morning for some tests and examinations he had scheduled for some time. The world number one on his way out did not stop in front of reporters and immediately got into a van with tinted windows, limiting himself to greeting the people present.

The Italian decided to undergo some clinical examinations to investigate what happened during the second round of Roland Garros against Juan Manuel Cerundolo, when at one step from victory he suddenly froze, physically collapsing. According to rumors reported by Sportmediaset, the routine checks would not reveal anything alarming.

Sinner, having archived his mini vacation in Sardinia with Laila Hasanovic and friends, will return to training on Wednesday ahead of the Wimbledon tournament, scheduled for late June.

According to John McEnroe, that of cramping and physical collapse in prolonged matches would not be a new problem for Sinner. The American legend explained that the Blue’s team has been working for years to find the right countermeasures: “In truth, it’s not a new problem, he’s been dealing with it for years already. It is brutal to have to deal with this kind of heat, and he has cramped on three or four different occasions in the past. I really believe that in the last three or four years they have done everything they can, from testing to nutrition, to find a way to minimize this problem. After this latest defeat they will continue to do that. I would bet anything that they’re doing everything they can to fix it.”

Also causing discussion in recent days had been the words of Andre Agassi, who had pointed the finger at the Blue’s physical management: “There’s a difference between being fit and being prepared. To see him give up after an hour and forty-five, to see him give up like that … is something that is striking. You can’t say that he doesn’t work hard, or that he’s not in shape. He was one game away from winning, and we all thought he could go on in the tournament without losing a single set.”
