Jannik Sinner has addressed the criticism regarding his decision not to participate in the Olympics, emphasizing that only he and his team truly understand his situation. In a recent statement, Sinner expressed his disappointment about not being able to compete due to health issues, despite initially prioritizing the Games as a major goal for the year.
He remarked, “I think only my team and I really know how I felt: from the outside it’s one thing, from the inside it’s another. I especially know how I felt. I had said since the beginning of the year that my biggest goal was the Olympics, but unfortunately I wasn’t even able to get out of bed. Then honestly, what people think… let’s say I give it little importance, little weight.”
Sinner’s comments reflect his focus on personal well-being and his disregard for external opinions amid his struggles.
