Nicolás Jarry faces one of the most important stretches of the year with great concern. Just weeks away from Wimbledon and just over a month away from the Paris Olympic Games, the recent finalist of the Rome Masters 1000 still cannot leave behind an ear infection that has him currently unable to train.
This Saturday, however, Jarry came out to clarify the illness he suffers from. He did it through his social networks. “As a clarification, I am going through vestibular neuronitis. Different from a Ménière’s disease… I am doing all the exercises that the doc sent me to recover as soon as possible,” he noted on his Instagram account.
Everything became known a week ago, when it was announced that he was not going to compete in the Queen’s ATP 500 qualifiers. “Nicolás has been forced to withdraw from the Queens tournament due to an ear infection that is causing him vertigo and dizziness, but from which he is recovering satisfactorily, although slower than he would like,” his press team reported.
In that same letter they pointed out that his trip to England was finally going to take place during the week of June 17, something that is undoubtedly left in the air after the statements that the player himself gave this Friday.
“I’m not training yet, I don’t have the ability to go to the field to train. I play with my family to learn to balance, which is what attacked me and what I lost. It can last a long time, months or weeks. It varies from each person“, the Chilean commented at the outset at the launch of his relationship with the automotive company BYD.
Despite the negative nature of his first comment, the world number 20 tried to be optimistic about everything that is happening to him. “I am doing all the exercises possible to re-educate my body. I am with faith, trying to take advantage of the time for other things. I would love to have a date or things clearer, but I’m going day by day. Every day I get a little better,” she added.
Of course, the truth is that with Wimbledon just around the corner (it starts on July 1), the recovery times are very fair. “I like to play on grass. We must make a more intuitive, more entertaining game. With my blows I do more damage. I hope to get there, I’m doing everything I can. It’s difficult, but the doctor thinks it’s possible given my progress.. I have to go day by day,” he expressed about his presence in the third major event of the season.
The positive thing is that despite everything, his participation in the Olympic Games is confirmed. “My participation is not at risk, it shouldn’t be. You never know what the future is going to bring you, but I am calm, happy. I have to do things very well in physical preparation, I have been in bed for two weeks and three without exercising,” Jarry stressed.
