Asked whether Rome was a risk, he said: “Right now, definitely yes, but I need to see the [scan] images, speak to my team. Yeah, because sure would be good to come back there after winning last year, but just need to see what it is, because right now I basically don’t know if it’s very serious, just serious, or not serious. No idea.”
The conditions at the Italian Open are the most similar to Roland Garros, while the Madrid Open is played at altitude. With Alcaraz and Sinner already out of the Italian Open and Medvedev in doubt, they won’t be able to play any extra matches in Rome to ready themselves for the French Open.
