Jannik Sinner Withdraws from Cincinnati Open Due to Knee Injury
36 days agoJannik Sinner, the world’s top-ranked tennis player, has announced his withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open this week due to a knee injury. The Italian star, who recently secured his fifth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, has not competed since that victory.
In a statement, Sinner expressed his disappointment, stating that despite ongoing efforts with his medical team, he is not yet ready to compete. He emphasized his focus on recovery in hopes of being fit for the upcoming US Open later this month.
The Cincinnati Open, a Masters 1000 tournament, is set to commence on August 13, with notable players like Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic participating. Sinner's absence will be felt, especially after his recent triumph over Zverev in the Wimbledon final.
Additionally, Carlos Alcaraz, the world number two, will also miss the event as he continues to recover from a wrist injury sustained earlier this year. The US Open is scheduled to take place in New York from August 30 to September 13, marking the final Grand Slam of the year.
