Jannik Sinner Withdraws from Cincinnati Open Due to Knee Injury

Jannik Sinner, currently ranked as the world's top men's tennis player, has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a knee injury. The announcement was made on Sunday, marking his absence from the tournament.

Sinner has not competed since winning his second consecutive Wimbledon title last month and had also withdrawn from the Toronto tournament that started on Wednesday. In a statement, he expressed disappointment over his inability to compete and emphasized his focus on recovery for the upcoming U.S. Open.

This withdrawal follows a similar decision by Carlos Alcaraz, who also announced his exit from the Cincinnati event due to a wrist injury. As a result, fans will miss both top-ranked players when the men's singles matches commence on Saturday.
