JANNIK SINNER ATTENDS MEDICAL EVALUATION AT MILAN CLINIC

Jannik Sinner underwent a medical evaluation at Physioclinic in Milan, according to reports. The nature of the evaluation remains unconfirmed, though sources indicate it may relate to injury or constitute a routine check-up. Sinner's trusted doctor was recalled from holiday for the assessment, suggesting the evaluation held particular significance. The Italian is ranked World No. 1 and is preparing for the US Open hard-court season.

Sinner has experienced various injuries throughout his career, including ankle problems in his early years and hip issues that emerged during the hard-court swing in 2024. In recent seasons, cramping in hot and humid conditions has affected his performance, leading to a retirement mid-match against Tallon Griekspoor in Shanghai and physical difficulties against Daniil Medvedev in Rome. Most notably, Sinner suffered what one account describes as a complete physical breakdown at the French Open, losing to Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round. Sinner opted not to compete in the Canadian Open ahead of the evaluation.

The medical visit follows a similar pattern to previous years, when Sinner sought testing and evaluation before important tournament stretches. After his French Open exit, he visited a hospital in Milan for diagnostic tests before the grass-court season. Sinner approaches the US Open campaign with backing to secure another Grand Slam title, though his recent medical assessment has prompted concern among observers regarding his fitness for the North American hard-court swing.
