Sinner and Alcaraz fitness concerns cast doubt on US Open participation
The participation of tennis stars Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the upcoming US Open remains uncertain due to ongoing physical health concerns.
Jannik Sinner, the current ATP world number one, has been managing a right knee injury, described as a probable tendon inflammation. After undergoing shockwave therapy in Turin and completing initial training sessions, Sinner has returned to Monte Carlo to continue monitoring the joint's response. His team has indicated that he will only travel to New York if he is fully fit to compete in best-of-five-set matches. His withdrawal from the Cincinnati Masters highlighted the severity of the issue.
Carlos Alcaraz is also facing uncertainty following a significant right wrist injury that has kept him off the court since April. While there has been speculation regarding a potential return, experts like Patrick Mouratoglou have expressed concern over the lack of match practice. Mouratoglou noted that both players will likely only compete if there is no risk of worsening their injuries and if they can maintain a high level of play. The potential absence of these two top competitors could significantly shift the dynamics of the tournament, opening opportunities for players such as Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic.
