World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will miss the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The Italian tennis player made this decision due to tonsillitis.
"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 training on clay I started to feel unwell. I spent a couple of days resting and during the visit the doctor found tonsillitis and strongly advised me against playing.
Missing the Games is a huge disappointment since it was one of my main goals for this season. I was looking forward to having the honor of representing my country in this very important event. A big good luck to all the Italian athletes that I will be supporting from home." wrote Sinner.
Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open this year. His last tournament was the grass-court Wimbledon, where he reached the quarterfinals.
The tennis tournament at the Olympic Games will begin on July 27, with the men's singles final taking place on August 4.
