## Sinner's Withdrawal from US Open

World number one Jannik Sinner has announced his withdrawal from the 2026 US Open due to a right knee injury. The Italian tennis star, who has not competed since his Wimbledon victory on July 12, made the decision after consulting with his team and medical staff.

## Recovery and Future Plans

Sinner has been training in Monte Carlo but realized he needs more time to recover. He expressed disappointment at missing the tournament, especially since he has fond memories of New York, having won the US Open in 2024. Sinner plans to focus on recovery in Europe, aiming to return for the Asian swing, including tournaments in Beijing and Shanghai.

## A Stellar Season

Despite the setback, Sinner has had an impressive 2026 season, boasting 44 wins and six titles. However, his French Open campaign ended unexpectedly in the second round, partly due to challenging weather conditions.

## Rivalry with Alcaraz

Meanwhile, Sinner's rival, Carlos Alcaraz, has announced his return to the US Open after recovering from a wrist injury. This development adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming tournament.
