Jannik Sinner withdraws from US Open due to knee injury

World number one Jannik Sinner has officially withdrawn from the 2026 US Open due to a persistent right knee injury. Sinner announced the decision via social media, stating that despite intensive work with his medical team and recent training sessions in Monte Carlo, he requires more recovery time to avoid long-term physical risks.

This withdrawal marks the first time Sinner has missed a Grand Slam tournament since his debut in 2019. His absence significantly alters the men's singles draw, leaving the tournament without its top seed and primary favorite.

In contrast, Carlos Alcaraz has confirmed his return to professional competition at the US Open. Alcaraz will be defending his title after being sidelined for approximately four months due to a right wrist injury sustained in Barcelona. His comeback provides a major boost to the tournament's competitive landscape as the season concludes in New York.
