Jannik Sinner, the world’s No. 1 men’s tennis player, has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open due to a knee injury. Sinner, who hasn’t competed since capturing his second straight Wimbledon title last month, also withdrew from the tournament in Toronto that began Wednesday.
Impact on the Tournament
The 24-year-old Sinner has five Grand Slam titles and needs to win the French Open to complete the career Grand Slam. His withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open, along with Carlos Alcaraz’s similar decision, means fans in Cincinnati will not see either of the world’s top two players when men’s singles begins Saturday.
