Jannik Sinner withdraws from ATP Finals due to knee injury

Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the 2026 ATP Finals in Turin due to a right knee injury. The Italian champion is prioritizing recovery to prepare for the 2027 Australian Open, where he is considered a favorite to secure his third title in Melbourne.

Sinner's absence significantly impacts the tournament landscape and the ATP rankings. With the defending champion out, the field features top competitors such as Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev. Zverev is expected to see a shift in the world rankings following Sinner's withdrawal.

In the ATP 500 Vienna tournament, the draw presents challenges for several Italian players. Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli are positioned in the same half of the bracket as Zverev, while Luciano Darderi is set to face Matteo Arnaldi in an all-Italian first-round match.
