I had an MRI scan yesterday on the thigh injury I sustained during Wimbledon and was informed I will not be able to compete for a couple of weeks.

Representing Italy is the biggest honor for me so it is devastating to miss the Olympics.
I wish the entire Italian team the best of luck in Tokyo. I will be supporting you all the way.”
