In addition to the bitterness for his failure to participate in the Internationals of Italy, in Romethere was a certain surprise at his absence at the ceremony organized for the heroes of the Davis Cup, on the Central Field of the Foro Italico. A celebratory evening, a tribute to the square, to the Azzurri and to Jannik Sinner who undoubtedly and without fear of contradiction played the role of leading actor on the fields that led Italy to a success that no one dared even imagine.
Instead the number 2 in the world ranking was not there. He was not present, due to a situation which, from what has been reported, has nothing to do with the hip problem which forced him to say goodbye Rome, see you next year.
The evening for the Davis Cup, Sinner absent
According to what emerges, in fact, and was then reported Sinner he was stuck in bed due to a high fever, even 39, accompanied by a sore throat and weakness which led the South Tyrolean champion to prefer rest and to decline an important event for the group, but above all for him who, thanks to his talent , made the return of the salad bowl to Italy possible. the void left by Jannik was compensated by an emotional video, but the blue epic and the victory of Rum raisinAfter Santiago 1976it was like this, a little truncated.
Captain Filippo Volandri he nevertheless gave a speech, greeted and thanked those present and of course the Blueseven without the leader natural:
“We reminisced about the moments that will remain forever, truly emotional. It’s difficult to remain impassive and in fact I also saw a bit of emotion in the kids.”
Everyone was given a gold coin commemorating the victory, minted for the occasion. In short, a pleasant evening full of something certain pathos.

How is Sinner?
Too bad it wasn’t there Sinnerstruck by a generic flu syndrome which forced him to prefer rest and to seek refreshment after the fatigue he had undergone at the Australian Open. A state of health that would have debilitated him and forced him to opt for the plan B.
In short, it would be a condition independent of the recent and worrying hip problem which forced him to decide not to take the field Rome. A situation, also on the medical side, well illustrated and explained in his recent press conference.
For today, from what appears, a meeting linked to commercial commitments would have been scheduled Jannik it has, but up to the time of writing we have no evidence of its presence or absence. However, we will soon understand whether the blue tennis player will be present or not.
Rublev’s statements
The new winner of Madridthe Russian Andrey Rublev current number 7 in the world seeding, in the meantime he is touching it slowly. After the Spanish success, he brought to the table a topic that is dear today to anyone who focuses on injuries and the ordeals faced by racket pros.
“I’m still sick – he said in the conference -, and I think I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow for a complete check-up. I don’t know exactly what’s happening, because I’ve already been sick for eight, nine days and this is not normal. There is no improvement, which is strange, because normally I’m sick for two, three days at most. Maybe still fever but nothing special. This time is the first time I have felt so bad in my life. Tomorrow we’ll find out what exactly it is, maybe it’s angina. A virus whereby the throat is completely blocked. And so I haven’t been able to swallow or eat for nine days and I have an incredible headache because of it. I won the tournament because I had injections, which kill the pain. So two, three hours without pain. Inside me I am full of medications.”
He is certainly not the only one to talk about the problems arising from the calendar and the choices: also at Sports Sunday Adriano Panattaa former player who is now a leading commentator on RaiSport, has made no secret of how and to what extent the current problems of the main tennis professionals must also be linked to the playing surfaces and the resulting stresses. A decidedly open chapter.
