During his fourth-round match at Wimbledon 2025 against Grigor Dimitrov, Jannik Sinner suffered a fall in the opening game that left him clutching his right elbow. The incident immediately affected his performance, particularly on serve and forehand, and required a medical timeout. Despite the discomfort, Sinner continued to play, eventually advancing after Dimitrov retired due to a separate injury.
Medical Evaluation Brings Relief
Following the match, Sinner expressed concern about the injury and confirmed he would undergo an MRI to assess the damage. The fall, while not appearing severe on video, left him feeling significant discomfort. Fortunately, the results of the scan brought good news: the injury is not serious enough to prevent him from continuing in the tournament.
Back on Court for Training
In a promising sign for fans and his team, Sinner is scheduled to return to the practice courts at 4 p.m. London time. This session will serve as a test of his elbow’s condition ahead of his quarterfinal clash with American rising star Ben Shelton. The two have met multiple times before, with Sinner holding a dominant record, but the injury adds a layer of uncertainty to their upcoming encounter.
Eyes on the Quarterfinals
Sinner’s ability to train suggests he may be fit to compete, though the true test will come under match conditions. As the world number one and a three-time Grand Slam champion, expectations are high. His resilience and determination to push through adversity have already been on display, and fans will be eager to see if he can maintain his momentum at Wimbledon.
