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.
World number one tennis player Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a right knee injury, according to an announcement on the ATP website. The 24-year-old Italian player had been on a six-tournament winning streak at the 1000 level before skipping the North American hard-court swing. Sinner consulted with his medical team and decided to prioritize his health, stating that he is not yet ready to compete.
The Cincinnati Open and Montreal Masters serve as warm-up events ahead of the US Open, which begins on August 30. Sinner's withdrawal comes after world number two Carlos Alcaraz also withdrew from the Cincinnati Open due to a wrist injury. The two players previously disputed the US Open final last year, with Alcaraz ultimately winning the match in four sets.
