  • World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is undergoing medical tests after withdrawing from Wimbledon warm-up tournaments due to health issues.
  • Sinner experienced discomfort during his French Open second-round loss, where he led significantly before a comeback by his opponent.
  • He will not play any grass-court warm-up events and will head directly to Wimbledon as the defending champion.

World number one Jannik Sinner is facing health concerns that have led him to withdraw from all grass-court warm-up tournaments ahead of Wimbledon. The Italian star is currently undergoing medical examinations following discomfort experienced during his French Open campaign.

Sinner's French Open ended in a surprising second-round defeat. Despite holding a commanding lead in sets and games against Argentina's Juan Manuel Cerundolo, Sinner's physical condition deteriorated, leading to a dramatic turnaround by his opponent. Reports suggest heat was a contributing factor to his poor feeling during the match.

Following initial tests in Turin and Milan that reportedly revealed no specific issues, Sinner's team announced he would resume tennis training this week. However, he will skip the traditional Wimbledon warm-up events. Sinner is scheduled to compete at the All England Club starting June 29, where he will defend his title.

The first medical tests, which Sinner underwent in Turin and Milan due to the problems that plagued him in Paris, did not reveal any particularities.
