Jannik Sinner was prey to the most bitter face of tennis today. The Italian had been planted in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open 2022, with a great opportunity to advance to the semifinals against a newcomer in these events, but blisters on his right foot prevented him from continuing in a match that he left going 1-4 down. This is how the transalpine explained his pain: “I had blisters and I could not move. I started noticing them yesterday, in the last game against Nick (Kyrgios). Today I wanted to go out on the track and try it, but it didn’t work. In the first game I slid on the track and felt even worse, from then on I couldn’t move. He hit a short ball and I went for it and skidded to hit the backhand. That’s when it happened, and I felt much worse than yesterday. It’s very hard for me: I’ve played two tournaments recently, Indian Wells and Miami, and I’ve had to withdraw from both. It’s hard to accept”.
