Jannik Sinner vows 'no excuses' as he sustains injuries before blockbuster Italian Open final with Carlos Alcaraz

Tennis star Jannik Sinner has shed light on his potential injuries ahead of his Italian Open 2025 final showdown against his rival Carlos Alcaraz. Notably, the world number one was seen struggling with injuries during his semi-final game against Tommy Paul, but he showcased a great fight and emerged victorious by winning the game to make it to the final clash.

Jannik Sinner showed off his beast form during his quarter-final clash against Mutua Madrid Open champion Casper Ruud, where he won the game in just 64 minutes. The tennis world would have expected the same in his semifinal thriller. However, Sinner lost the opening set against the American star. However, he somehow managed to come back to claim a 1-6, 6-0, 6-3 win to set his clash against Carlos Alcaraz, who also heads to the summit clash after beating Lorenzo Musetti in another semi-final thriller.

Jannik Sinner hopes to recover ahead of the Italian Open 2025 final

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old tennis star revealed that he had been struggling with a blister under his foot since the earlier round of the tournament. While the Italian star said that he wasn't concerned about the injury to his leg, he hopes to get better ahead of his final showdown against four-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz. Notably, Alcaraz has won the Monte Carlo finals and made it to the Barcelona Open finals before missing the Madrid Open due to injuries.

"Physically? I hope to recover in the best possible way. Since a couple of matches, a blister under the foot, which then affects some other muscles, they work. I'm not concerned about my leg. Hopefully, the blister is going to heal as fast as possible. But in any case, as I said, there are no excuses, no? I'm in the final. I give it the best I have Sunday, then we see what's coming," Jannik Sinner said.
