World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Paris Olympics with tonsillitis.
The Italian struggled with illness during his Wimbledon quarter-final loss to Daniil Medvedev earlier in July.
Sinner was one of the favourites for the gold medal on the Paris clay, reaching the French Open semi-finals after winning his first major title at the Australian Open in January.
“After a good week of clay training I started to feel unwell,” the 22-year-old posted on X., external
“I spent a couple of days resting and during a visit the doctor found tonsillitis and strongly advised me against playing.
“Missing the Games is a huge disappointment as it was one of my main goals for this season.”
The tennis tournament takes place from 27 July to 4 August.
