Jannik Sinner will not continue with any matches this season after pulling out of the Shanghai Masters due to injury. The world number one has not played a match since winning the Wimbledon final in July. Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys, American WTA stars, have commented on Sinner's season-ending injury. Both players expressed surprise at the severity of the injury, noting that Sinner's movements seemed abnormal and perhaps even supernatural.
Pegula compared him to Novak Djokovic, while Keys likened him to skiing on a tennis court. Sinner, despite the setback, had a successful season, winning six of nine tournaments. He now holds the title of world number one, but will cede it to Alexander Zverev by the end of the year. Sinner's 2026 record stands at 44-3, with notable wins including Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
He currently sits second in the 'Live ATP Race', though his ranking may drop slightly if he decides not to return to play this season.
