World's number one tennis player, Jannik Sinner, announced on Wednesday that he is withdrawing from the Paris Olympic Games due to tonsillitis.
"I am saddened to inform you that unfortunately I will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games in Paris. After a good week of training on clay I started to feel unwell. I spent a couple of days resting and during the visit the doctor found tonsillitis and strongly advised me against playing. Missing the Games is a huge disappointment since it was one of my main goals for this season," he posted on X.
He will be replaced by Andrea Vavassori in the Italian team.
