Jannik Sinner Withdraws from U.S. Open: A Grand Slam Miss

World number one, Jannik Sinner, has withdrawn from the U.S. Open owing to a right knee injury. This decision comes after missing key tournaments like the Cincinnati and Canadian Open. His absence removes a major contender from the final Grand Slam, affecting the competitive landscape.

World number one Jannik Sinner has announced his withdrawal from the U.S. Open due to a persistent right knee injury, as confirmed on Friday. This unexpected exit deprives the season's final Grand Slam of one of its top contenders.

Sinner, 24, who recently secured his fifth major title at Wimbledon, has been sidelined since the injury earlier this month, missing the Cincinnati and Canadian Opens—key hard-court events leading to New York's tournament.

"Despite intensive work with my team and medical staff, we decided that I won't compete at the U.S. Open this year," Sinner revealed in a statement on X. The announcement coincides with Carlos Alcaraz's confirmation of participation after a four-month hiatus, shifting the competitive dynamic at Flushing Meadows.
