Sinner is already back to winning ways in Montreal, as he has partnered with British No. 1 Jack Draper in the doubles and they have already reached the third round. He will now start his singles campaign against Borna Coric.
It will be the Italian’s first singles match since Wimbledon as he was forced to pull out of the Olympics with tonsillitis. It’s not the first time illness has stopped Sinner from competing at a big event. But he has now revealed that he opted against having surgery that would have helped avoid future issues.
The tonsils were not removed because that would require a little more time for recovery,” the 22-year-old told Ziggo Sport after arriving in Canada. Sinner also opened up on his illness during his pre-tournament press conference and admitted that he couldn’t practice for days.
