Jannik Sinner skips Montreal Masters, undergoes Milan medical check before US Open
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew from the ATP Masters 1000 event in Montreal and will travel to the United States for the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open. Before departing, he spent about four hours at the Physioclinic in Milan for a routine medical assessment with his staff and physiatrist Dr. Volpi. The check‑up was prompted by a slight discomfort in his right knee, but no serious problem was identified.
Alexander Zverev said he fully understood Sinner’s choice to skip Montreal, noting the tight calendar ahead of the US Open. In the same tournament, Brazil’s João Fonseca is scheduled to meet Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round on August 6 at 12:00 Brasília time. German player Yannick Hanfmann reached the third round after beating Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, while Carlos Alcaraz remains out of Cincinnati due to a wrist/hand injury. Alexander Zverev will open his Montreal campaign against Tallon Griekspoor, and Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz will face Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo in the second round.
