what he will have to “swallow” next Monday – Libero Quotidiano

Per Jannik Sinner not a good moment: after the excellent Australian Open and the separation from the coach Riccardo Piatti, the South Tyrolean did not have great results between Dubai, Indian Wells and the Miami Master 1000. In the last two tournaments, the 20-year-old has retired due to physical problems: in California for a disease, blisters on his feet, he forfeited the round of 16 against Nick Kyrgiosan opponent who then always beaten in the second round but in Miami, to then say goodbye to 4-1 in the first set of the quarterfinal match against the Argentine Francisco Cerundolo. Even in Florida, Jannik’s hopes of making it back into the top-10 had to be shattered.

Sinner eye, Alcaraz could get over you
In addition to the (physical) damage, there is also insult: Sinner, current number 11 in the seeding and who withdrew against Cerundolo after only 22 minutes of play due to blisters in his foot, now risks slipping a step lower, thus being overcome by talent Carlos Alcaraz if the Spaniard were to win the tournament in Florida. Alcaraz himself flew to the semifinals – after the victory in the quarterfinals over the Serbian Kecmanovic – against Sinner’s great friend, Herbert Hurkaczin the match scheduled for tonight.

For Sinner not the first injury

The injury to Indian Wells, but not only. In recent years Sinner has unfortunately got us used to some injuries, and for the South Tyrolean talent it’s not good. In February 2021 in Montpellier we were worried about his back, as he was completely blocked in the final game against the Slovenian Allja Size, during the decisive tie-break of the third set. The same physical problem she had at the US Open against Karen Khachanov. Blisters, then, were also the culprits in Vienna, when Jannik retired after five minutes against Andrey Rublev, in the Next Gen 2020 match. Finally, troubles also against Shapovalov in last year’s Australian Open, with the blue he had closed the lost match exhausted, almost close to cramps, but due to the exhaustion accumulated the previous week to win the ATP tournament in Melbourne.
