Sinner withdraws from Cincinnati Open with knee injury
Jannik Sinner's withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open follows that of Carlos Alcaraz, who is continuing to battle a wrist injury.
Jannik Sinner, the world number one, has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a right knee injury, stating he needs to prioritize his health. The 24-year-old Italian announced the decision on the ATP website, explaining that despite working with his medical team, his knee remains problematic. The Cincinnati Open, which begins on Thursday, is one of the two key warm-up events before the US Open, starting on August 30.
Sinner had been on a six-tournament winning streak at 1000 level before skipping the Montreal Masters, where he also missed the event. His withdrawal comes just weeks after world number two Carlos Alcaraz withdrew from the same tournament due to a wrist injury. Both players had disputed the US Open final last year, with Alcaraz ultimately winning the match.
