Jannik Sinner received medical attention for his elbow during Monday’s match against Grigor Dimitrov, who later retired due to his own injury. The world No. 1, Sinner, practiced indoors on Tuesday while waiting for the results of an MRI on his shoulder. His coach, Darren Cahill, mentioned to ESPN that they had not received the MRI results as of Tuesday evening but were encouraged that Sinner, a three-time major winner, was doing some light training in preparation for his upcoming quarterfinal match against American Ben Shelton.
Despite facing challenges during his Round of 16 match, where he received treatment for his right elbow after a fall, Sinner is determined to continue his Wimbledon journey. His opponent, Dimitrov, had to retire due to a partially torn pec, potentially sidelining him until the US Open. Sinner advanced to the next round with a walkover.
Maintaining his position as the top-ranked player in the ATP Rankings, the 23-year-old Italian is vying for his first Wimbledon title. With an impressive track record at the All-England Club, reaching the quarterfinals for four consecutive years, Sinner is poised for success. He holds a dominant 5-1 record against Shelton, with their most recent encounter during the 2025 Australian Open semifinals resulting in Sinner’s victory on his way to claiming his second consecutive title.
