Jannik Sinner pulls out of Cincinnati Open due to knee injury

World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the upcoming Cincinnati Open due to a knee problem, tournament organisers announced on his behalf.

Men's tennis world number one Jannik Sinner will not compete at the Cincinnati Open after pulling out because of a knee issue. The Italian player's withdrawal was confirmed through a statement released by the tournament organisers.

No further details have been disclosed about the exact nature of the injury or how long Sinner is expected to be sidelined. It also remains unclear whether the setback could affect his participation in upcoming major events.

The Cincinnati Open is one of the most significant stops on the ATP tour, traditionally serving as key preparation ahead of the US Open, the final Grand Slam tournament of the season. The absence of a top-ranked player from such a high-profile event typically draws considerable attention within the tennis community, given its potential impact on both the tournament and the player's form and ranking in the months ahead.
