Jannik Sinner Withdraws from 2026 US Open Due to Knee Injury
World No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the 2026 US Open due to a persistent right knee injury. Despite efforts to recover and recent training in Monte Carlo, Sinner and his medical team decided he needs more time to rehabilitate. This marks his first missed Grand Slam since debuting at the 2019 US Open. Sinner, who won Wimbledon last month and the 2024 US Open, plans to continue recovery in Europe and aims to return during the Asian swing later this year.
