Jannik Sinner misses the US Open due to injury
Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner, the current world number one, confirmed this Friday that he will miss the US Open. The athlete has made the difficult decision to withdraw from the final Grand Slam of the season due to persistent discomfort in his right knee, which has prevented him from reaching an optimal level of fitness for high-level competition.
After conducting training sessions in Monte Carlo over the last few days, Sinner and his coaching staff concluded that the recovery process has not yet finished, making his participation in the New York tournament unfeasible. This withdrawal adds to his recent absences at the Toronto and Cincinnati Masters 1000, consolidating a forced break since his last conquest at Wimbledon.
Obviously I am very sad and disappointed. New York holds a special place for me and I was looking forward to returning to compete in front of the tournament fans.

Focus on recovery and upcoming goals
The Italian’s work plan will now focus on remaining in Europe under strict medical and performance monitoring. The main goal is to ensure a full recovery that will allow him to resume professional activity during the Asian tour, with his sights set on the Beijing and Shanghai tournaments.
The absence of the top seed significantly transforms the landscape of the men’s draw at the US Open, an event that will take place from August 30 to September 13. With this withdrawal, public attention turns toward other figures on the circuit, including Carlos Alcaraz, who arrives in New York with the goal of defending his title.
- Confirmed withdrawal from the 2024 US Open.
- Reason: Right knee injury.
- Upcoming goals: Asian swing (Beijing and Shanghai).
- Context: Sinner has not competed officially since his victory at Wimbledon.
