Jannik Sinner was recently spotted wearing a mystery device on his arm at Monte-Carlos. Shortly after this observation, he has once again become the talk of the tennis community, with people guessing about the glucose sensor he is using before his appearance at Wimbledon.
Sinner was last seen in action at the French Open, which did not pan out as expected after his shocking early upset in the second round of the tournament. He opened the campaign against Clement Tabur and registered an impressive 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 victory against the French player, advancing to the second round. In this round, he locked horns with Juan Manuel Cerundolo; however, after his first two dominant sets, he suffered a severe physical collapse due to the Paris heat wave.
The World No. 1 was visibly struggling during the match, as he experienced sudden dizziness and nausea. This led to his loss in the next three sets, making his opponent claim a 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 win. Shortly after this upset, he was recently seen training at MonteCarlo and was spotted using a device on his arm.
While people are guessing what it is and debates have been making rounds on the internet, it is seemingly a glucose sensor.
After the Paris debacle, Sinner is reportedly using the device to monitor how his body responds to exertion, nutrition, heat, and recovery. This doesn’t directly measure blood at every moment but keeps the glucose in check under the skin. In addition to this, it is reportedly also used in tracking several other things, including drops during effort, how the body responds to heat and stress, spikes after eating, and lack of recovery.
This device sparked debates online as fans opined on the observation. One of them wrote on X:

What did Jannik Sinner say about his physical conditions on the court at the French Open?
After losing to Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round of Roland Garros, Jannik Sinner addressed the media in the post-match press conference, where he fielded questions surrounding the ins and outs of his loss and his physical struggles on the court.
Revealing that he started to feel dizzy on the court, he said that he didn’t have a lot of energy and also opened up about how he didn’t feel very weak in the morning before the game.
“I didn’t feel very well on court, but can happen. Yeah, struggled, starting to feel very dizzy. Very low of energy and tried to serve it out but didn’t have a lot of energy. Fourth set I let it go a little bit trying to have a bit more energy in the fifth. Very important game,” said Jannik Sinner in the press conference.
He added:
“The first one couldn’t hold and then it went all a bit downwards but yeah woke up this morning didn’t feel very well and um tried to keep the the points very short, most in the beginning I was hitting very clean very good and and then I just kind of hit the wall and that’s it.”
Jannik Sinner is currently recovering and won’t compete in any of the grass tournaments ahead of the Wimbledon Championships.
