The Australian Open champion made headlines earlier this year when he withdrew from the Rome competition, saying he would play in the French Open only until he was fully fit. Following a hip injury that forced him to withdraw from the Madrid Open earlier in the month, right before his quarterfinal match, he made his decision.

At a news conference to declare his withdrawal from Rome, he said, “I don’t want to go into details about the injury. We initially thought it wasn’t anything serious, but scans revealed otherwise.” Moreover, he added: “My preparation for Paris won’t be optimal because I won’t have much time, but what is sure is that I will give everything in order to be in a position to play.” 

Even though his goals are set for the Olympics this year, his shaking hand on the tennis field has left fans worried as they raise concerns on social media.

On the other hand, another one mentioned hope, sharing a concerned message for the Grand Slam champion and wrote, “he’ll be alright.” Not only that, in the middle of this, a fan was left disheartened in such a way, that, he felt sick in his stomach looking into the moment, “I’m going to fu**ing faint.”

The situation is made worse by the fact that Sinner has already missed the Italian Open to recover from an injury, though that was his hip. Even so, a new problem occuring is more than disheartening.
