Sinner Withdraws From Cincinnati Open with Knee Injury Ahead of US Open

The world No. 1 said he is not ready to compete after consulting doctors and his team, leaving Cincinnati without its top two men’s players.

  • On Sunday, World number one Jannik Sinner announced his withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open due to a right knee injury, stating he must "accept that I'm not ready to compete yet."
  • Sinner's decision follows his absence from the Canadian Open, where he prioritized his health; he had been on a six-tournament winning streak at 1000 level before the North American hard-court swing.
  • Sinner won the Cincinnati title in 2024 and finished runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz there last year, with this year's main draw beginning August 13.
  • The withdrawal further depletes the Cincinnati field, as Carlos Alcaraz also remains sidelined by a wrist injury; the Spaniard continues to battle the same health prioritization challenge.
  • Sinner is now "focusing on getting ready for the Open" in New York on August 30, remaining hopeful after claiming his fifth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last month.
