Italy's tennis world number one
Jannik Sinner said Wednesday that he will have to miss the Paris
Olympics because he has tonsillitis.
"I am saddened to inform you that unfortunately I will not be
able to participate in the Paris Olympic Games," the 22-year-old
Australian Open champion said via X.
"After a good week of training on clay I started to feel unwell.
"I spent a couple of days resting and during an examination, the
doctor diagnosed tonsillitis and strongly advised me against
playing.
"Missing the Games is a huge disappointment as it was one of my
main goals for this season.
"I couldn't wait to have the honor of representing my country at
this very important event.
"Good luck to all the Italian athletes who I will support from
home.
"Forza Italia".
