Q. Jannik, you have an announcement to make. Tell us what it is.
JANNIK SINNER: Yeah, it's a very tough announcement. Obviously I'm not gonna play here in Paris. We came here, yeah, very early to prepare to the best possible way.
After the first practice session, I really didn't felt good. You know, I also talked with the doctor on Sunday, you know, it's a virus, what makes you feel better in three, four days.
Today I feel better already a little bit, but the body is not ready to compete and feel still very, very weak. It doesn't make sense to go on court and trying to compete for this tournament.
Yeah, very disappointed, because, you know, it's a tournament where I would like to see where my level is at. That was one of my main goals for this week, but yeah, unfortunately I cannot make this happen.
Q. Presumably wanting to conserve your energy for Turin, for Davis Cup, everything still to come. How quickly do you hope you can get back out on the practice court?
JANNIK SINNER: Yeah, I mean, now for sure the most important part is to recover and getting back physically 100%. You know, maybe the next three, four days, I feel better and then I can start again to practice, and of course the main goal is going to be Turin.
But, you know, now at the moment, much more important to see how I feel in the next days, and then hopefully I'm going to be ready for Turin.
Q. Good luck with your recovery.
JANNIK SINNER: Thank you.
