The injury issue has taken center stage in the last few weeks of the top international tennis circuit. The Rome tournament without the world no.2, Jannik Sinnerand n.3 in the ranking, Carlos Alcarazarouses quite a sensation and we wonder what the causes are and how to intervene to try to change the situation.
The former American tennis player spoke out on the matter Andy Roddick, talking about Sinner’s hip problems. Roddick pointed to the calendar in his podcast ‘Served with Andy Roddick‘due to too many close meetings which cause stops, in his opinion.
“Sinner got hurt and aggravated his hip problems by training during the Madrid tournament because he had no other time to do so. He wants to be number one in the world, and to do that you have to play tournaments. Not everyone is Novak and can win three Slams a year and become number one. That’s not realistic, especially when you’re young and trying to reach the top for the first time. You have to get busy“, said the former US player (Source: thesportsrush.com).
“There’s a lot of stress, the fact that Sinner feels the need to do a full workout in the gym during a tournament is sobering. Maybe you shouldn’t do both in the same race week.”, Roddick concluded.
