Reports from Turin have surfaced, indicating that Stefanos Tsitsipas faced an abrupt halt in his practice for the second consecutive day. This has raised concerns about his physical condition. The cause behind this interruption points to an elbow concern. This clearly signals that Tsitsipas may not be operating at full capacity. With the ATP Finals just on the horizon, this unexpected development puts his scheduled opening match against Jannik Sinner in a dilemma.

While Tsitsipas has been in stellar form recently, the uncertainty surrounding his elbow has added uncertainty to his upcoming performance. However, at the moment, it is just a speculation and nothing of the sort has been confirmed as of now.

If that remains to be the case, Hubert Hurkacz stands ready to step in if Tsitsipas is unable to compete. Thus, the fans of Stefanos Tsitsipas dealt a heavy blow as the Greek player, who is in top form was injured just before the final showdown. It will also be a huge blow for him as he recently regarded the ATP finals as one of the greatest tournaments of the year.
