Jannik Sinner shows up at a somewhat expected place on US Open second Sunday
Absent from the 2026 US Open main draw due to injury, Wimbledon champion and ATP World No. 1 Jannik Sinner surfaced at a somewhat expected location on Sunday, September 6.
Jannik Sinner, the defending Wimbledon champion and reigning ATP World No. 1 player, was spotted at the Italian Grand Prix, a Formula 1 race in Italy, over the weekend. Sinner has been sidelined with a knee injury, which has caused a void in the tennis world since his absence from recent Grand Slam events. Last year, Carlos Alcaraz, his biggest rival, also missed several tournaments due to a wrist injury, but Sinner decided to skip the US Open due to his injury.
However, fans were delighted to see the Italian tennis star at the Formula 1 event, where he arrived with his father and signed autographs. Sinner stated that his knee is fine, but he did not provide further details about his injury. Matteo Berrettini, who lost to Sinner in the second round of the US Open earlier this month, was also in attendance at the F1 race.
Berrettini expressed that Sinner is doing well and that they arrived together at the event. With Flavio Cobolli eliminated in the US Open second round, Luciano Darderi stands as the last Italian in the tournament, facing top seed Alexander Zverev on September 7.
