The world number 1 underwent scheduled tests to investigate the causes of the collapse at Roland Garros
There is no peace even in the hospital if your name is Jannik Sinner. The world number 1 was photographed and filmed as he left the San Raffaele, where between yesterday and today he is undergoing a series of clinical tests. Tests scheduled for some time, to delve into the causes of the physical collapse that struck him in the second round of Roland Garros when, leading 2-0 5-1 against Juan Manuel Cerundolo, he was no longer able to close, prematurely exiting the Slam which was the primary objective of the season.

Jannik, also accompanied by team doctor Luca Semperboni, entered yesterday morning for a day hospital which ended around 6pm when he left and got into a black van to return to the hotel that always hosts him when he has to stay in Milan. There is, rightly, the utmost confidentiality about what the doctors are investigating and San Raffaele has taken care to keep the dossier secret so that any curious person does not want to scrutinize the medical records and spread confidential information. Certainly these are all-round in-depth analyses, to get to the bottom of the too many moments of physical failure of the South Tyrolean champion. In January, in the terrible heat of Melbourne, he risked leaving the tournament prematurely due to cramps and dehydration. A situation which, although resolved, weakened him, leading to his defeat against Novak Djokovic in the semi-final which did not allow him to confirm the 2025 title. The spring, however, had brought nothing but victories, record after record with the streak of five consecutive Masters 1000s: Indian Wells and Miami on the beloved hard court and then the hat-trick on the clay courts of Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome where he brought the title back 50 years after Adriano Panatta. The same feat was not achieved at Roland Garros and, after that worrying exit, preceded by a problem also in Rome, in the semi-final against Daniil Medvedev it was decided to get to the bottom of the problem.

Also for this reason Sinner was not seen at J Medical, which does not have the equipment and professionalism for the checks that the Italian must carry out. We are talking about in-depth tests at a cardiac and metabolic level, so as not to exclude any pathology or deficit. But the boy, and this is the most important thing, is fine. The physique of an athlete of his level has delicate balances to maintain and to have a long-lasting and successful career, no detail must be overlooked. The mood, however, is high. Yesterday afternoon, leaving the solvents pavilion of the Milanese hospital, he appeared smiling. Black shorts and t-shirt, white cap pulled tightly on his head like when he goes on the pitch, and bandaged left wrist. He did not shy away from the photos and videos of those he passed at the exit, but he did not want to make statements to the cameras crowded at the exit before driving away in the black van with tinted windows.
dinner with laila

Once back, time to rest and then dinner in the hotel in the center of Milan where he will spend the night before returning to San Raffaele in the morning to conclude visits and exams. Together with him in Milan there is also his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic, with whom he had dinner, and with whom he will then return to Monte Carlo this afternoon or, in case of prolonged exams, tomorrow morning. We need to resume training in Monte Carlo in view of the defense of the title at Wimbledon. It is likely that once we have the reports and a response to the problems experienced in Paris, the preparation will be adapted by Umberto Ferrara to perform at its best. After the victory at the Internationals, his coach Darren Cahill confirmed that Jannik would not play tournaments before Wimbledon precisely to rest in view of the efforts that would end in Paris. Sinner has not changed his plans and will leave for London about ten days before the Championships. But first of all, health.
