Former Italian tennis star reveals what worried Jannik Sinner most during Wimbledon

Jannik Sinner had a season full of ups and downs, but it was mostly dominated by great moments that will remain deeply remembered and etched in the memory of Jannik Sinner.

The Italian tennis player played phenomenally at the last tournament, showing that he would pose a danger to everyone around him. Although most were skeptical about his chances at Wimbledon after his disappointment at Roland Garros, Jannik Sinner once again made sure to silence the critics and doubters.

Roland Garros exposed some of his weaknesses, showing that Jannik Sinner’s body can sometimes struggle with exhaustion and fatigue, especially during marathon matches and encounters played in high temperatures.

Despite everything, Jannik took the next steps in consultation with the team after Roland Garros with the desire to find out where the main problem lies. At one point, Jannik Sinner was seen with a glucose monitor, while at another point he was seen with a vest that cools the body.

These are all steps they had to take in order for the world number one to play at the top level and dominate at Grand Slams.

Diego Nargiso reacts

Diego Nargiso, a famous former professional tennis player from Italy, commented on Jannik Sinner's success at Wimbledon, saying that Jannik was slightly reserved at the start of the tournament and worried that the same scenario could happen again. However, he emphasizes that his team did a phenomenal job.

“During the first week at Wimbledon, in my opinion, Sinner was more concerned about avoiding a repeat of what happened in Paris than focusing solely on his tennis. After Paris, they did an incredible job, especially mentally. What happened at Roland Garros is something that can destabilize a player,” Nargiso said.

Ultimately, he drew a parallel between Alcaraz and Sinner, saying that this rivalry helps both players and gives them extra motivation.

“Sinner certainly misses Alcaraz a lot. Rivals help you improve and push you further. There is great respect and appreciation between them, but at the same time, there is also a desire to surpass each other.”

Jannik Sinner and his team actually underwent detailed medical examinations and came to a clear conclusion, but it is true that the details and exact diagnosis remained undisclosed, which created the impression that the real problem is still hidden.

After a mysterious collapse in the second round of Roland Garros against Juan Manuel Cerundolo (where he led 2-0 in sets and 5-1 in the third set, only to suffer a massive energy drop, dizziness and nausea), Sinner and his team took important steps.

Immediately after Paris, Sinner traveled to Milan for extensive medical examinations. On the eve of Wimbledon, he said that he and the team "came to a conclusion that is very good" and that all findings showed that his body was generally healthy. The Italian tennis player said that they cleared the doubts and that he feels 100% ready.

However, Sinner himself opened the door for theories when he admitted for the first time during Wimbledon that he now understands what happened in Paris, but that he cannot guarantee that it will not happen again.
