Jannik Sinner Withdraws from Shanghai Masters Due to Injury
Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1 tennis player, has announced his withdrawal from the Rolex Shanghai Masters due to an ongoing right knee injury. Sinner has not competed since July, when he won the Wimbledon final against Alexander Zverev.
His knee issue has also prevented him from participating in the North American hard-court swing, including the US Open, and defending his title at the China Open in Beijing. In a social media post, Sinner expressed disappointment at missing the Shanghai event, stating he enjoys playing in front of the city's fans and is sorry he cannot compete.
He thanked his supporters and expressed hope for a return next year. Medical staff are taking a cautious approach to his recovery, aiming for full healing before his competitive comeback, which may occur during the autumn indoor season.
With this withdrawal, Sinner will miss the entire lucrative Asian swing of the tennis calendar.
