World No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the upcoming US Open tournament due to a right knee injury, according to reports citing the official ATP website. The Italian star, who has had a dominant season on the professional circuit, confirmed the decision through his team on Friday.
Sinner’s withdrawal comes shortly after a successful campaign at Wimbledon, where he secured his fifth Grand Slam title. That victory marked his first major trophy of the current season, cementing his position at the top of the world rankings. The injury to his right knee has now forced him to step away from the final Grand Slam of the year to focus on recovery.
Fans and analysts have noted the significant impact of Sinner's absence on the US Open draw, as he was widely considered a top contender for the title. His team has not yet provided a detailed timeline for his return to competitive play, stating only that the focus remains on medical evaluation and rehabilitation to ensure he can return to the court at full strength.
The report originates from a single source citing the ATP website regarding Jannik Sinner's withdrawal. While the claim is specific and attributed to a credible sports governing body's platform, it has not yet been cross-referenced by the major international wire services provided in the baseline.
