Jannik Sinner cancels Wimbledon practice a day after hurting elbow
The world No. 1 sustained a right elbow injury the night before in a fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov.
LONDON (AP)—Top-ranked Jannik Sinner canceled his practice session at Wimbledon on Tuesday after sustaining a right elbow injury the night before in a fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov.
Sinner, who advanced when Dimitrov quit because of a pectoral injury, faces No. 10 Ben Shelton in the quarterfinals Wednesday.
The three-time Grand Slam champion's practice session at Wimbledon's Aorangi Park had been scheduled for 4 p.m. local time. The All England Club confirmed that the session was canceled.
Sinner hurt his elbow in a fall in the opening game Monday night and lost the first two sets before Dimitrov retired at 2-all in the third set.
The 23-year-old Italian said afterward that he had planned to have an MRI on Tuesday "to see if there's something serious."
