Jannik Sinner Withdraws from US Open Due to Knee Injury

Jannik Sinner has officially withdrawn from the US Open, unable to recover from a right knee injury that has affected him since his Wimbledon victory. This marks the first time the Italian player has missed a Grand Slam tournament since 2019.

After winning his second consecutive title at Wimbledon last month, Sinner had to pull out of the preceding hard-court tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati. He announced that he will not be ready for the tournament's main draw, which begins on August 30, despite efforts to return to the court.

Sinner expressed disappointment over his withdrawal, noting his fondness for New York and the atmosphere of the tournament. He has had a successful year with a record of 44-3 and six titles, but his recent injury has hindered his participation in key events.
