At Roland Garros, Sinner walks on eggshells:

At Roland Garros, Sinner walks on eggshells: "I'm not in perfect physical shape".

Jannik Sinner, who makes his French Open debut this Monday against 46th-ranked Christopher Eubanks, was less than reassuring in a press conference.

As a reminder, the Italian has long been in doubt. After suffering a hip injury, he was forced to pull out of the Rome Masters 1000. Having only recently returned to the racket, Sinner was only certain of lining up a few days ago. This choice is not necessarily a sign of a fully recovered physical condition, as the winner of the last Australian Open will be suffering from a certain lack of rhythm.

In all sincerity, this is what the world number 2 explained to the press: "I'm no longer worried about my hip. The latest tests were very positive, which is why I'm here. I said I'd only come here if my hip recovered. I'm not in perfect physical shape, because I stopped playing tennis for almost 2 weeks, which is a long time before a Grand Slam.

We'll take it one day at a time. I'll have a different approach to the tournament than in the past. I hope I'll get through the first round and that will help me find my rhythm. The most important thing will be the mental aspect. I need to be mentally ready to accept what's going to happen on the court."

"Warns competition"? Lmao. Please tell me you're trolling with this headline. It remains painfully obvious that De Minaur simply isn't a Slam contender. Hell, Alex would need a plethora of injury luck
