The Italian tennis player began his absence from the Paris Olympics due to tonsillitis, but many haters are focusing their malicious comments on his love story with Anna Kalinskaya
With a message shared on Instagram and his social media accounts, Jannik Sinner has communicated to his fans that he will not be able to participate in the 2024 edition of the Olympics, just a few days before the official start of the tournament, which will be held on the Roland Garros clay-courts.
“I am sad to inform you that unfortunately I will not be able to participate in the Paris Olympic Games. After a good week of training on clay I started to feel unwell. I spent a couple of days resting and during the visit the doctor found tonsillitis. He strongly advised me against playing. Missing the games is a huge disappointment since it was one of my main goals for this season. I was looking forward to having the honor of representing my country in this very important event. A big good luck to all the Italian athletes that I will support from home. Come on, Italy!”
A very harsh absence for Italy, which was counting a lot on the current number 1 in the ATP ranking. Sinner would have led both the main draw of singles and the men’s doubles, together with Lorenzo Musetti. It is the second consecutive withdrawal for the Italian, who had – on that occasion voluntarily – chosen not to take part in the Tokyo event in 2021.
ill now focus on fully recovering his condition, even after what happened at Wimbledon, to presumably return to the ATP Masters 1000 in Canada (in Montreal), where he will defend the title he won last year.
Obviously, there has been controversy related to the absence of the Italian, in my opinion unjustified, for all that Jannik is doing for Italian tennis and beyond. Many users (or idiots), on social media, draw parallels with what happened to Matteo Berrettini and his ex-girlfriend Melissa Satta; this time, the haters have focused their malicious comments (in my opinion, these haters should be banned from social media for life) on the love story between Sinner and Anna Kalinskaya, underlining how Jannik’s career is going downhill and his results have dropped since he started dating the beautiful Russian.
