Jannik Sinner is on course to return to action at the Canadian Open as the defending champion has recovered from his recent illness, but there are question marks over the participation of several top ATP stars at the Masters 1000 event in Montreal.
World No 1 Sinner has not competed since losing in the quarter-final at Wimbledon as he first withdrew from the Swedish Open due to fatigue and he then pulled out of Italy’s Olympic squad as he was “strongly advised” by doctors to skip the Paris Games due to illness.
“I am saddened to inform you that unfortunately I will not be able to participate in the Paris Olympic Games,” he wrote.
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.
“Missing the Games is a huge disappointment as it was one of my main goals for this season.”
The reigning Australian Open champion appears to be 100% again as he has arrived in Montreal for the ATP Masters 1000 event and has returned to the practice court.
