Unless he\u2019s got some kind of ointment in there or cream. That looks horrible! It\u2019s getting worse as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Tim-henman\">Henman<\/a>, meanwhile, said: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s affecting his movement. He\u2019s been charging around the court, as we saw in that third set tie-break, but it is very bizarre to have something like that coming through the shoe. It would be a bit tough if he got fined for infringing on the predominantly white rule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> did not show any signs of discomfort and he didn\u2019t call the trainer during the match, so it can\u2019t have been bothering him too much.<\/p>\n<p>The opening day of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> was plagued by injury issues, both on and off the court. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Emma Raducanu<\/a> withdrew early from her match against Antonia Ruzic, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jack-draper\">Jack Draper<\/a> also confirmed he would not play.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/maja-chwalinska\">Maja Chwalinksa<\/a>, who reached the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/roland-garros\">Roland Garros<\/a> final as a qualifier earlier this year, suffered a fall in her match against Mananchaya Sawangkaew.<\/p>\n<p>The Pole was just one game away from reaching the second round, but the fall ensured she lost the match in three sets to end her Wimbledon journey.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Denis-Shapovalov\">Denis Shapovalov<\/a> and Camilo Ugo Carabelli also suffered falls in their matches, with the former being forced to withdraw against Pablo Carreno Busta.<\/p>\n<p>Much like most of the tennis season, injuries remain a strong through-line for Wimbledon, with plenty of players hit by the unfortunate trend.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jannik Sinner suffers \u2018horrible\u2019 injury during first round match at Wimbledon Liam McMillen 29 Jun 2026 5:00 PM 3EX011M Wimbledon, London, UK. 30th June, 2026.
