“I am saddened to inform you that unfortunately I will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games in Paris.
After a good week of training on clay I started to feel unwell. I spent a couple of days resting and during the visit the doctor found tonsillitis and strongly advised me not to play.
Missing the Games is a huge disappointment as it was one of my main goals for this season. I was really looking forward to the honor of representing my country in this very important event.
A big good luck to all the Italian athletes that I will support from home.
“Go Italy”
