Will Jannik Sinner be OK for U.S. Open with knee injury?

Here's what we know about Jannik Sinner's knee injury and how it might affect his U.S. Open.

Jannik Sinner, the world-ranked No. 1 tennis player, is considering his ability to compete in the U.S. Open after withdrawing from the 2026 Cincinnati Open due to a troublesome right knee injury. The Cincinnati Open took place just days before the U.S. Open begins in September. Sinner's withdrawal highlights the severity of his injury, as he had to take additional time to recover before attempting to defend his title at the U.S. Open.

Despite his recent success, including winning Wimbledon earlier in the year, the uncertainty surrounding the extent of his injury raises concerns about Sinner's readiness for the upcoming Grand Slam tournament.
