Sinner Withdraws from U.S. Open | Fayetteville News

Jannik Sinner, the world’s top-ranked tennis player, has pulled out of the U.S. Open due to a persistent right knee injury, despite his recent Wimbledon triumph over Alexander Zverev. The 25-year-old Italian, who won last year’s tournament and reached the final in 2023, admitted he needs more time to heal after recent court work in Monte Carlo. His withdrawal opens the door for Carlos Alcaraz, who’s recovered from a wrist injury and is primed for a potential rematch in New York — setting up a dramatic showdown in the absence of the reigning champion. This is Sinner’s first Grand Slam miss since his debut in 2019, amid an otherwise dominant season with 44 wins and six titles.
