Top-Ranked Jannik Sinner Withdraws From the US Open with a Knee Injury

  • On Friday, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew from the US Open due to a right knee injury. The Wimbledon champion confirmed he requires additional recovery time before competing in New York.
  • Since beating Alexander Zverev last month to defend his Wimbledon title, Sinner has not played a match. He previously missed the Masters 1000 events in Canada and Cincinnati due to ongoing recovery needs.
  • In a statement, Sinner said, "I still need more time to recover from my right knee issue," after training in Monte Carlo. He expressed disappointment, emphasizing New York holds a special place in his heart.
  • Rival Carlos Alcaraz announced his comeback from a wrist injury one day before Sinner's withdrawal, ending four months of absence. Alcaraz defeated The Italian in last year's Open final, reshaping this year's field.
  • The main draw at Flushing Meadows begins Aug 30. The field now prepares for the final major of the season without the reigning Wimbledon champion competing.
