Jannik Sinner’s withdrawal from the Madrid Open due to a hip injury is a significant blow to both his and the tournament’s prospects. Having struggled with the injury since the Monte-Carlo Masters, Sinner’s decision to pull out is a precautionary measure aimed at preventing further damage and ensuring his readiness for upcoming major events.
The Italian’s injury has been a concern throughout the tournament. Despite his impressive performance against Karen Khachanov, the discomfort was evident and had been a topic of concern in the lead-up to his quarter-final match against Felix Auger-Aliassime. With the French Open just around the corner, Sinner’s main focus will now be on rehabilitation and recovery.
The withdrawal not only means Auger-Aliassime advances to the semi-finals but also raises questions about Sinner’s fitness for the Italian Open and the French Open. As he is a crucial player in the ATP Tour, his condition will be closely monitored by fans and analysts alike.
Sinner’s pragmatic approach—choosing to withdraw to avoid exacerbating the injury—reflects his awareness of the long-term implications of such issues. Hopefully, with proper rest and treatment, he will be able to return to peak form soon.
