Jannik Sinner ends his 2026 season
Sinner's knee injury has sidelined him for half of the 2026 season.
Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner has announced that his 2026 season is complete. The two-time defending ATP Finals champion did not participate in the home tournament in Turin this year due to a knee injury. In a video message shared on social media, Sinner stated that he is pulling out of the season to allow his knee more time for treatment.
His decision reflects his commitment to long-term health and well-being. Sinner, who had been dominating the spring hardcourt season with multiple titles, including the Sunshine Doubles, will miss the rest of the year. This absence from the ATP Finals due to injury has added intrigue to the race for the year-end ranking. The top three contenders, Zverev, Alcaraz, and Sinner, will determine the remaining six spots in the prestigious event.
