Jannik Sinner has reassured fans of his recovery and motivation following his withdrawal from the Shanghai Masters, setting his sights on a strong finish to the 2025 season.
Recovery After Shanghai
Sinner retired from his third-round match against Tallon Griekspoor at the Shanghai Masters due to cramping, a setback that raised concerns about his physical condition. The world No. 2 had entered the tournament as a favorite, especially after Carlos Alcaraz’s withdrawal, but was forced to concede midway through the deciding set.
Despite the disappointment, Sinner quickly shifted focus to the upcoming schedule, confirming his participation in the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Riyadh.
Looking Ahead to Vienna, Paris, and Turin
Speaking ahead of his match against Stefanos Tsitsipas in Saudi Arabia, Sinner expressed confidence in his preparation and outlined his goals for the remainder of the season.
“We’re ready for the Six Kings Slam and for the next tournaments — Vienna, Paris, Turin — and I hope to finish the year in the best possible way,” Sinner said.
His words reflect a determined mindset as he prepares for three key events: the ATP 500 in Vienna, the Masters 1000 in Paris, and the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, where he is expected to be one of the top contenders.
Physical and Mental Readiness
Sinner also provided an update on his condition, stating that he feels recovered and focused.
“I feel good physically and mentally,” he told reporters.
This reassurance comes after a season marked by both triumphs and interruptions. Sinner won Wimbledon in July and reached the US Open final, but has also dealt with cramps, blisters, and minor injuries that have disrupted his rhythm.
Eyes on the Finish Line
With the ATP Finals approaching, Sinner’s team is expected to manage his schedule carefully to ensure peak performance. His presence in Riyadh signals a return to form and a desire to maintain momentum heading into the final stretch.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Sinner aims to consolidate his position at the top of the rankings and end 2025 on a high.
