It has been claimed that while Sinner may only need a few days to recover, a worst-case scenario could see him miss the tournament altogether.<\/p>\n
Steven Buchwald, health expert at Manhattan Mental Health<\/a>, told Express Sport: “Athlete withdrawals often signal a combination of physical and psychological stress.<\/p>\n “In Sinner\u2019s case, subtle body language cues like slowed footwork, shallow breathing, head tilts, and brief pauses between points may have indicated his body was under strain.<\/p>\n “Psychological stress can amplify fatigue, affecting coordination and decision-making. Recovery timelines for acute illness vary. Mild viral infections may resolve in three to five days, while more serious illnesses may take one to two weeks or longer.”<\/p>\n Buchwald went on to list several ways in which Sinner could maximise his recovery, including rest, hydration and gradual training as well as using stress-reduction techniques such as visualisation and practicing mindfulness.<\/p>\n He added: “With these steps, athletes can optimise recovery and improve the likelihood of performing at their best at the next event.<\/p>\n “Sinner\u2019s decision to withdraw, while disappointing for fans, likely maximises both his physical health and competitive prospects.”<\/p>\n Sinner recently said that he would be ‘ready to push’ for the title at the US Open, as long as he manages to shake off his illness in time.<\/p>\n “I love Grand Slams a lot, these are the main tournaments for my season and for my career,” he said<\/a>. “The US Open is going to be a tough tournament but at the same time I’m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n “If I’m ready, physically and mentally, I will be ready to push. So as I said, now a couple of days of recovery and then we will get again back to work. Hopefully we will be ready so for sure, the main goal here in the US.”<\/p>\n To be the first to receive the latest tennis news, join our WhatsApp community<\/a> or newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been claimed that while Sinner may only need a few days to recover, a worst-case scenario…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":81356,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[13301,811,41289,41290,41288,101,118,12700,56,54,55,6545,41291,10302,25257,41292,7259],"class_list":{"0":"post-81355","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-cincinnati-open","9":"tag-jannik-sinner","10":"tag-jannik-sinner-illness","11":"tag-jannik-sinner-injury","12":"tag-jannik-sinner-update","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-tennis","15":"tag-tennis-section","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom","19":"tag-us-open","20":"tag-us-open-draw","21":"tag-us-open-mixed-doubles","22":"tag-us-open-news","23":"tag-us-open-schedule","24":"tag-us-open-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
