Italian tennis superstar Jannik Sinner withdraws from Paris Olympics due to tonsillitis
Jannik Sinner, the No. 1 ranked tennis player in the world, has announced his withdrawal from the Paris Olympics due to tonsillitis. The Italian athlete took to social media to share the news, revealing that he was advised by a doctor to sit out the Games.
Sinner expressed his disappointment at missing out on the opportunity to represent his country at such an important event. The 22-year-old had been looking forward to competing in the Olympics after a successful year that saw him clinch his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open and reach the semifinals at the French Open.
With Sinner out of the competition, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will now be the top-seeded men at the tournament, potentially setting up a gold medal rematch of the Wimbledon final. Andrea Vavassori will replace Sinner in singles, while Luciano Darderi will take his place in doubles alongside Lorenzo Musetti.
The absence of Sinner adds an unexpected twist to the Paris Olympics, with fans eagerly anticipating the competition to see who will come out on top in his absence. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
