Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1 tennis player, announces that he will skip the Toronto tournament and extend his vacation in Porto Cervo, a favorite place for relaxation. Sinner will return to the court in Cincinnati, in the tournament scheduled August 7-18 that precedes the US Open. At the Canadian Masters, Sinner will also not be there so that he can resolve the elbow problem that had jeopardized his integrity at Wimbledon. “I'm sorry, but I have to recover”. There's no doubt that it's worth extending the relaxation to put himself in the best possible condition for the Cincinnati-US Open doubleheader: in Ohio and New York Sinner is defending champion, and three thousand ranking points are up for grabs. It is in the second half of the season, in fact, that the Italian will face the greatest risk of erosion: to be protected from Alcaraz's attack are the final in Beijing (ATP 500), victory in Shanghai (Master 1000), and triumph at the ATP Finals (he is second in the Race rankings, at 1540 points from the Spaniard).
