SINNER UPSETS FANS WITH ANOTHER WITHDRAWAL!

Jannik Sinner Forced Out of US Open Due to Persistent Knee Injury

​World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has officially withdrawn from the US Open, delivering a major blow to the final Grand Slam of the season. The 25-year-old Italian confirmed his decision following ongoing struggles with a right knee injury that also sidelined him from crucial tune-up events at the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open. Sinner revealed that despite recent practice attempts in Monte Carlo with his medical staff, he remains unfit to handle the physical demands of best-of-five-set matches.

​The timing of Sinner's withdrawal dramatically alters the landscape of the tournament, coming just as his chief rival Carlos Alcaraz prepares to return from a four-month layoff due to a wrist injury. Sinner’s absence removes a formidable roadblock for the rest of the field, opening up the draw for contenders like Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic to push for another Grand Slam crown.

​His decision adds to a growing wave of high-profile player absences, underscoring intense debates regarding the grueling nature of the modern ATP Tour calendar. Several key players—including Jack Draper and Holger Rune—are also missing the event as physical breakdowns continue to affect the tour's top stars.
