Sinner Wears Continuous Glucose Sensor as He Begins Wimbledon Preparation

The team says the device will track glucose to test whether energy drops caused his Paris collapse, with data used to shape nutrition and risk management before he defends the title.

Overview

  • Sinner underwent hospital checks in early June that reportedly found no specific pathology after his collapse at Roland Garros, and he has since resumed full training.
  • Photographs from mid-June showed Sinner wearing a small adhesive continuous glucose monitor, a device that records blood-sugar trends in real time to spot drops during prolonged exertion.
  • His team is using the CGM as a diagnostic and preventive tool to test whether exercise‑induced glucose falls contributed to sudden energy loss, and to inform feeding and hydration plans.
  • Sinner flew to London on Thursday to start grass preparations and will use the Armani Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club (June 23–27) as his only on‑grass rehearsal before Wimbledon.
  • The move reflects a wider trend of elite players using CGMs to fine‑tune performance, and it could change how Sinner manages in‑match nutrition and recovery to reduce the risk of repeat incidents.
