Sinner changes his training with his comeback in mind

Jannik Sinner has not competed since winning Wimbledon on July 12. Two months later, the Italian player is still recovering from a knee injury that has caused him to miss the entire North American tour, including the US Open. However, he has made a change in his training that suggests he is ready to return to the circuit in the Asian tour, which is great news for tennis.

After Carlos Alcaraz missed 4 and a half months due to a wrist injury, Sinner was the next affected with knee discomfort that turned out to be more serious than it seemed. Given the delicate nature of the injury, both Jannik and his team have not wanted to rush and have missed several important tournaments with the aim of not relapsing and returning as well as possible for the final stretch of the season. Furthermore, as published by L'Equipe, his training in Monte Carlo has evolved positively, to the point that he has moved from playing with juniors from the Piatti Tennis Academy to hitting with players like Hubert Hurkacz, Flavio Cobolli, or Jasmine Paolini.

Will Sinner play the Asian tour?

The fact that Sinner is able to train at a certain intensity with these types of players means that he is in the final stages of his recovery, so he should return during the Asian tour without major setbacks. Still, the secrecy remains absolute and nothing is confirmed until the player himself reveals his plans for the coming weeks.

Theoretically, his roadmap should involve playing the ATP Beijing, where he defends his title, and the Shanghai Masters 1000, before moving on to the indoor European tour that will mark the end of the season. However, with injuries of this caliber, deadlines can sometimes be delayed, as happened to Alcaraz in Cincinnati, so the coming days should be crucial to understanding the next step in the season of the world number 1.
