Jannik Sinner flies to Paris

Jannik Sinner flies to Pairigi

Jannik Sinner goes in the hunt for Roland Garros, the second Slam of the season, kicking off Sunday, May 26, on clay courts at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. According to Sky Sports reports, the South Tyrolean will leave Monte Carlo later in the day to head to the French capital.

The world number two had resumed training in the Principality in recent days after the injury he suffered to his right hip, which forced him to withdraw from the Madrid Masters 1000, in which he was to face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarterfinals, and above all to have to forgo his home tournament, the Internazionali d'Italia.

The fact that Sinner travels to Paris does not automatically mean that the Italian will play the Paris Slam but it certainly leaves some very encouraging signs about his presence. On Tuesday he is not scheduled to practice on the courts of Roland Garros. Jannik, in fact, is not on the schedule published by the organizers unlike Rafael Nadal, Holger Rune and Andrey Rublev.

In Paris Sinner is also chasing the first position in the world ranking, currently still occupied by Novak Djokovic, who però must defend the Roland Garros title, while Sinner has few points to defend, having been eliminated in the second round in the last edition by German Daniel Altmaier.
