Jannik Sinner Withdraws from Cincinnati Open Due to Injury

World number one Jannik Sinner has officially withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a right knee injury, as announced by tournament organizers on Sunday. This withdrawal is a setback for Sinner, who is preparing for the U.S.

Open later this month. The 24-year-old Italian, who won at Wimbledon last month, had previously pulled out of another key warm-up event for the U.S.

Open. Sinner, who won the Cincinnati title in 2024 and was the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz last year, stated, “After consulting with my doctors and my team, I have to announce that I need to withdraw from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati.” He expressed disappointment over missing the event but is now focusing on recovery to be ready for the U.S.

Open, which begins its main draw on August 30. Sinner’s withdrawal further reduces the competitive field in Cincinnati, which also sees U.S.

Open champion Alcaraz absent.
