Jannik Sinner Announces He Will Miss US Open Because of Knee Injury

World No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner has revealed he will be absent from the US Open because of a right knee injury. The five-time Grand Slam champion, who won the US Open in 2024, announced the decision on social media, stating that his team and medical staff have decided it is best for him not to compete. Sinner acknowledged the disappointment, expressing that New York holds a special place in his heart and he was eager to return to the tournament.

Despite having been back on court in Monte Carlo recently, Sinner concluded that more recovery time is required. He is currently ranked as the world's top tennis player. The news of Sinner's injury follows that of world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, who will return from a four-month break at the US Open after recovering from a wrist injury.
