Jannik Sinner, the top-ranked men's tennis player in the world, has withdrawn from the Olympics after being diagnosed with tonsillitis.
In a post on X written in Italian (h/t The Athletic's James Hansen), Sinner wrote he wouldn't be able to participate in the Paris Games because doctors "strongly advised" him not to play:
"I am saddened to inform you that unfortunately I will not be able to participate in the Paris Olympic Games. After a good week of clay training I started to feel unwell. I spent a couple of days resting and during a visit the doctor found tonsillitis and strongly advised me against playing.
