Saturday, August 22, 2026 -The US Open has been dealt a major blow as Jannik Sinner the world No. 1 announced his withdrawal due to his right knee problem, after resuming hard-court training in Monte-Carlo
It will be a huge disappointment for the Italian, who was
hoping to return to New York after his title in 2024.
"I am obviously very sad and
disappointed"
"Despite
the hard work done with my team and medical staff, we had to take the difficult
decision to withdraw from the US Open this year. New York holds a special place
in my heart. I was really looking forward to returning to play in that electric
atmosphere, in front of a wonderful crowd," Sinner explained on his X
account.
The Italian champion must now continue his recovery without
rushing his return to competition.
His withdrawal comes after his retirement from the Cincinnati
Masters 1000, also due to this right knee problem.
