Sinner misses the Davis Cup: hand injury - Corriere.it


from Gaia Piccardi

The Twitter announcement: "Unfortunately I'm not healed yet." Captain Volandri calls Sonego: the quarter-finals against the United States will be on 24 November

No Sinner in Davis. Season ended for the South Tyrolean, n.15 in the ranking, who came out on his debut at the Master 1000 in Paris with bad sensations: in addition to the after-effects of the sprained ankle remedied in Sofia (where he defended the title, defeated in the semifinals by Rune already in phase of stratospheric take-off), Jannik had finished the match against Huesler with a swollen right hand.

The umpteenth of the physical troubles recorded in this troubled season, marked by retirements: for a virus to Indian Wells, blisters in Miami (with Cerundolo), knee at Roland Garros (with Rublev). Then the sprained ankle in Sofia and the latter, mysterious, problem in the hand ("Injury not healed on the finger" defines Sinner on Twitter, after a whirlwind among doctors who made him understand that between here and the challenge against the USA in Malaga there is no margin for recovery) which puts Filippo Volandri in trouble, the Davis Cup captain who now hopes to be able to count on Matteo Berrettini (released with plantar fasciitis from the ATP 250 in Naples, lost in the final with Musetti: they were not blisters), Lorenzo Musetti And Lorenzo Sonegon.47 in the world, fourth blue in the ranking, ready to answer the call in blue.

Thus ends, sadly, Sinner's season, with the balance of 64 matches played: 47 won, 17 lost, a title (Atp 250 in Umago), the quarter-finals reached in three out of four Grand Slams (all except Paris). The season has started in the top 10 (# 10), and closes it # 15. At 21, in absolute terms, it's not bad. But in the year of the explosion of Alcaraz and Rune (both 19 years old), this is certainly not the continuity that Sinner hoped for.
