Jannik Sinner Targets Late-December Return Ahead of 2027 Australian Open
Jannik Sinner aims to return to competitive tennis by late December, potentially at the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia, as he prepares for the 2027 Australian Open. The Italian player has been sidelined since July due to a right knee injury that forced him to withdraw from the US Open and end his 2026 season early. Sinner emphasizes following medical protocols to avoid setbacks and acknowledges the ongoing Middle East conflict may affect the exhibition's scheduling. He also noted the injury break has been challenging and altered his perspective on tennis.
