announced via social media that he will be withdrawing from the 2024 due to a tonsillitis infection
Paris Olympics
of the tennis tournament. This news is very regrettable for the tennis community and his supporters.
Cinna managed to win the Australian Open earlier in the year by defeating tough opponents such as Novak Djokovic and Dmitry Medvedev, and topped the world number one ranking in June this year. However, health problems forced him to give up his chance to compete in this year's Olympics.
In a statement, Sinner wrote: "I regret to inform you that unfortunately I will not be able to participate in the Paris Olympics. After a good week of training I started to feel unwell. I took a few days off and went to see my doctor who found out I had tonsillitis and strongly advised me not to compete. Missing the Olympics was a very big disappointment for me because it was one of my main goals for the season. I can't wait to have the opportunity to represent my country in this important event. Good luck to all Italian athletes and I will support you from home. Go Italy!"
Cinna's withdrawal leaves Novak Djokovic, the current world No. 2, as the top seed in the men's tennis singles at this year's Olympics. Djokovic has been in excellent form over the past few years and his being the top seed certainly adds to the excitement of the tournament.
Cinna's withdrawal is a heavy blow to the Italian delegation, but his health is undoubtedly the most important. We look forward to his speedy recovery and his return to the field of play, where he will continue to provide his fans with exciting matches.
Meanwhile, the tennis competition at the Paris Olympics will continue, with the best players from around the world vying for the event's top honors. Let's hope that all the players will be at their best and provide the audience with an exciting match.
