Paris 2024: Jannik Sinner Out Of Olympics Due To This Reason
World number one Jannik Sinner has announced his withdrawal from the Paris Olympics 2024 due to tonsillitis. The Italian tennis star, who won his first Grand Slam at the Australian Open earlier this year and reached the semifinals of the French Open, shared the news on Wednesday. “I am saddened to inform you that unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in the Paris Olympic Games,” Sinner wrote in a post on X. “After a good week of clay training, I started to feel unwell. I spent a couple of days resting and during a visit, the doctor found tonsillitis and strongly advised me against playing.“ Sinner expressed his disappointment, stating, “Missing the Games is a huge disappointment as it was one of my main goals for this season. I couldn’t wait to have the honour of representing my country in this very important event. Good luck to all the Italian athletes who I will support from home.” Sinner was also scheduled to play in the men’s doubles alongside Lorenzo Musetti. His withdrawal from the event means world number two and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic will now be the top seed in the men’s singles draw. The Paris Olympics 2024 draw is set to be made on Thursday. Sinner is the latest in a series of tennis players to withdraw from the competition. Olympic silver medallist Marketa Vondrousova and Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz pulled out of the tournament on Monday. Other absences include world number three Aryna Sabalenka, Ons Jabeur, Emma Raducanu, and Ben Shelton. The tennis fixtures at the Paris Olympics 2024 will take place from July 27th, 2024 to August 4th, 2024 at Roland Garros. The Sportz Planet Desk,Atharva Shetye
