Former American tennis star Andy Roddick hasĀ
dismissed allegations that Jannik Sinner wasĀ Ā faking an injury during his French Open semifinalĀ
against Carlos Alcaraz. Both players enteredĀ Ā the match with injury concernsāSinner with aĀ
hip issue and Alcaraz with a forearm injury. Sinner won the first set convincingly, butĀ
Alcaraz fought back to take the second. DuringĀ Ā the third set, Sinner appeared in discomfort,Ā
frequently stretching and clutching his hand,Ā Ā prompting his trainer to give himĀ
a massage on his arm. Despite this,Ā Ā a fan suggested that SinnerĀ
might be faking his injury. Roddick was quick to reject this claim,Ā
highlighting the seriousness of Sinner'sĀ Ā condition and his earlier withdrawal from theĀ
Italian Open due to injury. He questioned theĀ Ā logic behind the accusation, especiallyĀ
since Sinner was leading at the time.Ā Ā "Why would he do that when leading? He pulledĀ
out of his home tournament coming into RGā¦.Ā Ā Why is yours a suggestion that makes anyĀ
sense?" Roddick responded on social media. Roddick further emphasized theĀ
different impacts of injuries,Ā Ā noting that Sinnerās hip issue likely affectedĀ
his ability to train properly. This context,Ā Ā Roddick argued, made it unreasonable toĀ
suggest Sinner was faking any injury.Ā thank you for watching thisĀ
