Sinner made it to the final in his first competition after being suspended. Not just that. He set up a final against his young adversary Carlos Alcaraz, a battle that the tennis world eagerly anticipates whenever these two play in the same draw.
However, Sinner’s physical condition appears to be slightly doubtful ahead of the final.
In his semi-final encounter, the ATP World No. 1 player faced Tommy Paul, who proved challenging for the 23-year-old Italian.
“Since the third or fourth round, I’ve had a small blister under my feet, which doesn’t allow me to move as well in some moments. Today I felt it more than yesterday. It’s connected with that.”
“Leg-wise, I’m not concerned. It’s just a bit tight. It’s normal. But yeah, I have to take care of this blister. But there are no excuses. With adrenaline, there’s going to be a lot of energy. On Sunday, I’m 100% not concerned.”
“I hope to recover in the best possible way. Since a couple of matches a blister under the foot, which then some other muscles, they work. I’m not concerned about my leg.”
“Hopefully, the blister is going to heal as fast as possible. But in any case, as I said, there are no excuses, no? I’m in the final. I give it the best I have Sunday, then we see what’s coming.”
