World No 1 Sinner withdraws from US Open with knee injury
Jannik Sinner, the five-time Grand Slam winner, has not played since winning Wimbledon, pulling out of US Open warm-up hard-court tournaments in Cincinnati and Montreal.
World number one Jannik Sinner announced on Friday that he will not participate in the US Open due to a right knee injury. Despite working diligently with his team and medical staff, Sinner and his circle have decided that he needs additional recovery time. He has been absent from the courts since Wimbledon, where he secured his sixth title on July 12.
Sinner did not compete in the US Open's pre-tournament warm-up events in Cincinnati and Montreal. The 24-year-old expressed his deep disappointment, as New York holds a significant place in his heart, and he had anticipated returning to the energetic atmosphere of the tournament. Sinner will stay in Europe for his recovery, targeting the Asian swing and the upcoming tournaments in Beijing and Shanghai.
Earlier this week, fellow top player Carlos Alcaraz revealed he would return to competition at the US Open after a four-month absence caused by a wrist injury.
