No. 1 Jannik Sinner extends absence by withdrawing from Shanghai Masters

Shanghai (AP) — The world's top-ranked tennis player, Jannik Sinner, has decided to withdraw from the Shanghai Masters due to a knee issue. Sinner, who had just won the Wimbledon final, had previously skipped the U.S. Open because of a right knee injury.

In a post on his Instagram account, the Italian tennis star expressed his disappointment at not being able to play in Shanghai, a venue he greatly enjoys. He apologized for his absence and assured his fans that he looks forward to returning next year. Earlier, Sinner had announced his inability to defend his China Open title in Beijing, citing that his knee was not yet ready for competition.
