Jannik Sinner is ready to play again after his break since Wimbledon.
This year has been quite a rollercoaster for him. He started strong by winning the Australian Open and continued his winning streak with a victory at the Miami Open. However, his performance dipped during the clay-court season, where he didn’t win any titles.
He did manage to grab another trophy in Halle but faced challenges at Wimbledon due to illness against Daniil Medvedev and other physical issues . These problems eventually led him to skip the Olympics, which was a heartbreaking decision for him. Now, he’s back on track and eager to compete again.
Preparation for Canadian Open:
Sinner has been in Montreal for some time now, preparing early for the ATP Masters 1000 event. He’s considered a top favorite here, especially since many players will be arriving late from Paris. Despite this advantage, he remains cautious as returning after a break can be tricky.

“It feels great,” Sinner said about his preparations. “I arrived here quite early. Firstly, to get rid of the jetlag. Secondly, to recover here from the last part of what I had.” Fans might think it’s smart that he’s taking such careful steps before jumping back into competition.
He’s also defending his title from last year’s Canadian Open, although that win was in Toronto due to the event’s rotating cities format. The courts have changed since 2022 along with the balls used—now US Open balls—which seem to suit him well.
Sinner has always performed well in New York and hopes not to let anyone down this time around either. Watching tennis instead of playing it hasn’t been fun for him; he’s itching to get back on court .
“It’s a while since the last match I played at Wimbledon,” he admitted excitedly. “So, let’s see. I’m very excited to be here and hopefully I can show some good tennis.”
To ease into things, Sinner will start by playing doubles with Jack Draper against Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen—a seasoned doubles team—before diving into singles matches.
What do you think? Will Sinner make a strong comeback?
