Jannik Sinner lost in the second round of the French Open, a defeat that was largely attributed to his physical problems.

Leading 5-1 in the third set against Juan Manuel Cerundolo, Sinner’s body failed him as he fell to one of the most shocking Grand Slam defeats in the history of the sport.

Sinner then headed home to Italy for some medical tests that would guide his next steps.

Luckily for the world number one, the news was positive.

As reported by ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport‘, Sinner received the results from his medical tests on Wednesday, June 10.

“The results of the check-up were, of course, kept strictly confidential, but no critical issues or physical complications emerged,” they wrote (translated from Italian).

“The Paris episode was merely a result of fatigue resulting from the large number of matches played in just over two months, without the possibility of booster training, and aggravated by the extreme environmental conditions of the city during those days.”

Those results may not provide much comfort to Sinner, who missed out on a golden opportunity to complete his Career Grand Slam in Paris, but at least he knows there isn’t an underlying issue.

He played too much tennis before Roland Garros and can now make suitable adjustments for next year.

The Italian has played and won every Masters 1000 event this season, and the toll that takes on the body can’t be underestimated.

In the space of 71 days, Sinner played 29 matches, spending 45 hours and two minutes on court.

Add to that practice time and travel time, and you can understand how his body ran out of steam at the French Open in the extreme heat.

Looking ahead to 2027, surely Sinner and his team won’t make the mistake of playing all five Masters events again, but what about now?

Sinner is making a smart decision, taking a much-deserved rest.

Jannik Sinner won’t play again until Wimbledon

In 2025, Sinner travelled to Germany for the Halle Open before Wimbledon.

There, he was upset by Alexander Bublik in the second round, 24 days before he won his fourth Grand Slam title at the All England Club.

This year, Sinner won’t play any warm-up events on grass, giving his body time to recover after an exhausting first half of the season.

He will still arrive in London as the favourite to lift the title.

His closest rival and two-time champion, Carlos Alcaraz, will miss Wimbledon due to injury, and the seven-time winner, Novak Djokovic, is unlikely to play a warm-up tournament either.

So, with Alcaraz out of the picture and Djokovic arriving with the same preparation as Sinner, who else does the Italian need to be worried about?

The first name that comes to mind is Taylor Fritz.

Despite his recent struggles, Fritz remains one of the sport’s best grass-court players and is a consistent performer at SW19.

The American reached the semi-finals a year ago, where he lost a close four-set match to Alcaraz.

If he can impress at the grass-court tournaments before Wimbledon and build confidence, there is no reason why he can’t be a factor in the second week once more.

Australia’s Nick Kyrgios is another player to keep an eye on.

The former Wimbledon finalist has barely played since finishing as runner-up four years ago, but delivered an impressive win against Corentin Moutet in Stuttgart this week.

And given their history… Sinner will be keen to avoid a high-profile first-round tie with Kyrgios when the draw is released.

There’s a lot of tennis to be played before Wimbledon begins, though, and several players have opportunities to make a name for themselves in Stuttgart and ‘s-Hertogenbosch this week.
