World No. 1 and Wimbledon champion, Jannik Sinner, revealed on Friday that he will not be participating in the upcoming U.S. Open. In a statement, Sinner expressed disappointment as he acknowledged the decision was necessary due to ongoing recovery needs for his right knee problem. Despite efforts with his team and medical support in Monte Carlo, he concluded that additional time was crucial for his recuperation.
Expressing his sadness, Sinner emphasized his attachment to New York and the anticipation of competing in the vibrant environment and engaging with the loyal fans. The last time Sinner was seen in action was on July 12 when he clinched his second Wimbledon victory against Alexander Zverev.
