“I can’t walk anymore, I’m sorry. But I will come back stronger.” – Jannik Sinner announced the sad news, Carlos Alcaraz had actions that surprised everyone
The world of tennis was shocked when Jannik Sinner, the No. 1 young player in Italy and was one of the brightest stars of ATP Tour, suddenly announced to withdraw from the upcoming tournaments due to serious injuries in the legs. This evil news was shared by him in a short press conference in Turin, making global fans shocked and moved.
“I can’t walk anymore, I’m sorry. But I will come back stronger,”
Sinner said, his voice choked, his eyes were teary when he left the auditorium.
According to information from the medical team, Sinner faced muscle injuries and ligaments after the stressful quarterfinals lasted for more than 4 hours in Tokyo Open. He tried to play in pain, but the situation became worse when the wound was swollen and made him unable to stand firmly the next morning.
Coach Simone Vagnozzi shared:
“Jannik suffered for a few days. But he was the one who never gave up. We had to stop him from continuing to play because that situation could cause his career to be threatened.”
Sinner, who is expected to challenge the throne of Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic in the 2025 season, now faces the competition period for at least 2 months. His absence means missing two important Masters and the risk of losing position in the top 3 ATP.
But what touched the most emotional fans was not only that sad news, but also the reaction of Carlos Alcaraz – who was considered the “fateful opponent” of Sinner on the journey to reach the peak of the world tennis.
Immediately after hearing the news, Alcaraz posted a photo on Instagram – a photo of two people who were shaking hands after the final of the Miami Masters 2024, with a short but meaningful text:
“Get Well Soon, Brother. Tennis isn’t the same without you.”
(Hurry up, brothers. The tennis will not be the same as before without you.)
Alcaraz’s post quickly spread throughout social networks, receiving millions of likes in just a few hours. The whole world of sports is moved by rare friendship between the two competitors who have scrambled for each score on the field, but in real life, they give each other respect and sincere affection.
Not stopping there, the source from the Marca newspaper said Alcaraz sent Sinner a pair of shoes with the word “For Jannik”, the same short -handed letter:
“Remember that we still have many unfinished matches. I will wait for you to come back to complete them.”
The global tennis fan community has been filled with encouragement. A series of players like Holger Rune, Daniil Medvedev or Casper Ruud also sent greetings to Sinner, hoping he could recover soon.
On the forums, fans wrote:
“Sinner is not only an excellent player, but also an inspiration for energy and consistency.”
“It is rare to see beautiful friendships between Alcaraz and Sinner in the top sport.”
In a video shared later, Sinner appeared in a wheelchair, still holding a slight smile and thanked the fans:
“I will rest, heal, and come back stronger than ever. I promise everyone, this is not the end.”
This event not only makes fans regret but also reminds one thing: Sports are not only trophies, but also human love, resilience and mutual respect between rivals on the field.
Experts believe that Sinner will return to the beginning of the 2026 season, and then, the tennis world may witness a new chapter – where friendship and fighting spirit shine stronger than ever.
