Sinner makes a drastic decision regarding his knee

Jannik Sinner remains at a crossroads regarding the knee injury that has forced him to stay away from the circuit since last Wimbledon. Now that it is known that the Italian player will not return to play until 2027, he has decided to enlist the services of one of the best orthopedic surgeons on the planet to reverse the situation: Herbert Schoenhuber.

The announcement was made by Physioclinic on social media, as Schoenhuber is its co-founder, although there is still a lot of secrecy surrounding Sinner's injury. Initially, it seemed he would be out for a few weeks to return for the US Open, then for the Asian tour, and finally, there will be no more Jannik for the rest of the year. His goal now is to return for the Australian Open, as the knee is a complicated area and to avoid surgery, they are implementing a conservative treatment that allows the player from San Candido to be present at the first Grand Slam of the season.

Schoenhuber, the author of the 'Miracle of Beijing'

Schoenhuber is one of the most reputable doctors in his field, and the savior of other athletes like Sofia Goggia, starring in the 'miracle of Beijing'. After her fall in Cortina, the Tyrolean doctor supervised Goggia's knee and avoided a torn ligament that would have prevented her from competing in the Games, where she won silver in downhill. 

Sinner's objective is much more achievable for Herbert, as they have three months to arrive in peak physical condition in Australia, considering that Jannik has been out for the same amount of time and taking excellent care of himself. The coming weeks will be crucial, and a definitive diagnosis is expected to be made before the year ends so that the player from San Candido knows the fate of his short-term future on the circuit.
