Jannik Sinner will not be competing at the Us Open. The world number one has announced his withdrawal from the New York Slam due to the right knee problem that has been troubling him for weeks. The decision came after the latest on-court tests carried out in Monte Carlo. (Olympics)
Sinner had already pulled out of the Masters 1000 tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati, hoping to recover in time for the Flushing Meadows event. However, work with his medical team and a return to training were not enough. The knee is still not ready to withstand a Grand Slam tournament, and the Italian has chosen not to force it. (ANSA.it)
“I am very sad and disappointed,” Sinner said in announcing his withdrawal. The Italian stressed that he still needs time to recover, noting how special an event New York is in his season. (ANSA.it)
It’s also a significant blow from a sporting standpoint: Sinner, who won the Us Open in 2024 and reached the final in 2025, was among the top favorites for the title. (Reuters)
