No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdraws from Cincinnati Open with knee injury
The 24-year-old Italian, who claimed his fifth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last month, had also pulled out of the Canadian Open, a key warm-up event for the U.S. Open.
World No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a right knee injury, according to tournament officials. The 24-year-old Italian, who recently won his fifth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, had also dropped out of the Canadian Open, a crucial warm-up event for the upcoming U.S. Open. Sinner's withdrawal from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati comes after he consulted with his medical team and doctors.
He stated that his knee issue has persisted despite their efforts to resolve it, and he is not yet fit to compete. Sinner expressed his disappointment at missing the Cincinnati Open but remains hopeful about returning next year. He is now focusing on preparing for the U.S. Open, which starts on August 30. The tennis world is left to wonder how this setback will impact Sinner's preparations for the prestigious U.S. Open, especially with U.S. Open champion Carlos Alcaraz also sidelined by a wrist injury.
