After Saudi win
Sinner tormented by virus and withdraws from Paris Masters
Jannik Sinner withdrew his entry for the Masters 1000 tournament in Paris-Bercy on Tuesday. The world number one was plagued by an intestinal virus.
The South Tyrolean had recently made headlines with his victory at the "Six Kings Slam": Including the entry fee of 1.5 million dollars, he had won a record sum of 7.5 million dollars for three matches. And then claimed that he had not entered the tournament for the money, but for the challenge against the best.
"You have to be realistic"
Carlos Alcaraz, on the other hand, who lost out to him in Riyadh, has admitted it: The huge prize money lured him to the exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia. "I love playing tennis.
