“Wasn’t easy to withdraw in Miami”- Jannik Sinner
The 20-year-old elaborated more on his injury via Twitter and stated, “Wasn’t easy to withdraw in Miami. It’s been a bit of a difficult month with my illness at Indian Wells and now this. I’ve taken the last few days to rest and get some advice on my feet going forward.” The Italian also threw some light on his potential return to Monte Carlo Masters by stating, “I hope to be ready for Monte Carlo.”
