After a few days of silence, Jannik Sinner visited the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan today to undergo medical tests following his early defeat at Roland Garros 2026, as he had announced he would do after his physical problems in Paris that led him to lose to Juan Manuel Cerúndolo in the second round when he had the match practically won, being 5-1 up in the third set and with two sets in his favor.
This is not the first time the world number one has faced a physical setback at a crucial moment, as he was on the verge of defeat against Eliot Spizzirri due to heatstroke at the Australian Open. This time, Sinner admitted that it was not due to the heat at Roland Garros, but to a bodily discomfort he had been feeling since the morning of his defeat, which is even more concerning as it's a recurring issue.
Sinner's Main Enemy: His Physique
Last year, the San Candido player had to withdraw from tournaments like the Shanghai Masters 1000 (second round against Griekspoor) or the Cincinnati Masters 1000 (in the final against Carlos Alcaraz), proving that his greatest current enemy is still the same, as he appears somewhat fragile when facing a heavy workload of matches. Up until now, he had been winning everything on the clay court circuit, but at Roland Garros, his body gave out.
The situation is even more painful considering that Sinner was the top favorite to win the tournament, the only one left for him to complete the Career Grand Slam and add to his list of major titles. Nevertheless, he left the San Raffaele Hospital as friendly as ever, greeting all present media and already looking ahead to the grass court season, where he will only participate in Wimbledon.
