Difficult week for blue sport, with two champions stopped in the pits. Marcell Jacobs will have to give up the next stages of the Diamond League of Lausanne and Brussels due to a slight muscle injury accused in training. The sprinter, subjected to investigations from Fidal to Rome, however aims to recover in time for the Tokyo World Cup scheduled from 13 to 21 September.
Forced stop also for Matteo Berrettini, who has made official the withdrawal from US Open. The Roman tennis player still pays the consequences of an oblique injury, already responsible for the forfeit to Roland Garros and Wimbledon. For him the season remains in the balance, with recovery times to be defined.
