After a rollercoaster trip to China, Jannik Sinner has returned to Monte Carlo for medical checks. His journey included a triumphant run to the title at the ATP 500 in Beijing, followed by a sudden retirement during his match against Tallon Griekspoor at the Shanghai Masters. The intense heat in Shanghai affected several players, and Sinner’s decision to withdraw was attributed to severe cramping.

Sinner’s team remains optimistic, suggesting that the withdrawal was precautionary and not linked to any serious injury. The medical exams in Monte Carlo are expected to confirm his readiness for the next phase of the season.
Six Kings Slam Awaits in Saudi Arabia
Unless unexpected results emerge from his medical tests, Sinner’s next appearance will be at the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia. The exhibition event, held over three days, offers $7.5 million in prize money and features a select group of top-ranked players. Its prestige and condensed format make it a key stop for elite competitors preparing for the season’s final stretch.
Vienna, Paris, and the Road to Turin
Following his appearance in Riyadh, Sinner is scheduled to compete at the ATP 500 in Vienna. The Austrian event will be an opportunity to regain rhythm and form ahead of the Masters 1000 in Paris-Bercy. These tournaments will shape the final standings before the ATP Finals in Turin, where the world’s best will battle for year-end supremacy.
“We’re confident Jannik will be ready for the final push.”
— Simone Vagnozzi, Sinner’s coachThe coming weeks will be crucial for Sinner, who currently holds the No. 2 spot in the ATP rankings and remains one of the most consistent performers of the season.
