MANILA, Philippines — Men’s tennis number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Paris Olympics after falling ill with tonsillitis.

The Italian said he was “sad and disappointed” to drop out, adding that he had started feeling unwell on Monday after a practice week in Monaco.

“After seeing my doctors on Tuesday and waiting an extra day to give myself some more time to see if my condition would improve, things unfortunately got worse,” Sinner, 22, said in a statement.
