Jannik Sinner shares new statement as he withdraws from the Shanghai Masters, ‘I’m very sorry’

Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Shanghai Masters due to his persistent right knee injury. The world number one, who won Wimbledon in July, had not played a match since then following a hiatus from the North American hard court circuit, including the US Open. Initial expectations were that Sinner would return for the Asian swing, but his absence from the China Open has raised doubts.

Sinner has now officially announced his withdrawal from the Shanghai Masters on his Instagram story, expressing his regret for not being able to play for the Shanghai fans. He stated, "I always enjoy playing in front of the Shanghai fans and I'm very sorry that I won't be able to do so next week. Thank you for all your support. I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year!"

As for his future, Sinner's best results include winning the Vienna Open (2023 & 2025), Paris Masters (2025), ATP Finals (2024 & 2025), and Davis Cup Finals (2023 & 2024). With only four more tournaments remaining this year, three of which he has already entered, Sinner is scheduled to play at the Vienna Open and the Paris Masters, with the possibility of representing Italy at the Davis Cup Finals in Bologna.
