Jannik Sinner's scheduled training session has been cancelled. The world number 1 had booked a court at Wimbledon for 5pm Italian time, ahead of tomorrow's quarter-final against Shelton, despite the elbow pain that limited him yesterday in the round of 16 against Dimitrov .
For Sinner, therefore, no tests on the eve of the match. Yesterday, at the beginning of the second set, he had asked for a medical time out to have his right elbow checked, which was painful following a fall at the beginning of the match . Then he had started playing again and, in the third set, it was his opponent Dimitrov who had a physical problem that forced him to withdraw sensationally (he was ahead 2-0).
"It was an unfortunate fall," Sinner commented on his elbow injury yesterday at a press conference. " I checked the video and it didn't seem serious, but I still felt it a lot, when I was serving and especially on my forehands . Anyway, I'll have some checks and we'll see how it goes."
