• Sinner will debut Saturday against Daniel Altmaier after organizers granted a one‑day postponement to extend his recovery window.
• He is introducing measured tweaks to his game — including selective net approaches and serve‑and‑volley looks — while avoiding wholesale changes.
• Responding to player concerns about the packed calendar, Sinner said competitors can still choose their schedules, differing from Alcaraz’s call for adjustments.
• Beyond tennis, Lazio confirmed new injuries to Adam Marusic (low‑grade biceps femoris lesion) and Luca Pellegrini (knee contusion‑sprain), and Juventus face scrutiny after four straight draws and 11 goals conceded in five matches.
