Jannik Sinner withdraws from Cincinnati Open due to knee injury

World number one Jannik Sinner has officially withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a right knee injury. After consulting with his medical team, the 24-year-old Italian decided to prioritize recovery to ensure he is physically prepared for the upcoming US Open, which begins on August 30.

Sinner's absence follows a recent period of high-level success, including his fifth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. He has not competed on a hard court since the Miami Open in early April. His withdrawal significantly impacts the tournament field, joining fellow top star Carlos Alcaraz, who is also sidelined with a wrist injury.

With the departure of the world's top two players, Alexander Zverev becomes the top seed for the Cincinnati tournament. Sinner's medical team is currently managing the knee inflammation to prevent further damage and ensure he can compete in the final Grand Slam of the season.
