Tennis Star Injured
Top Favorite Jannik Sinner Withdraws from the US Open!
“Although I’ve been working hard with my team and my medical staff, we’ve now had to make the difficult decision that I won’t be able to compete in this year’s US Open,” Jannik Sinner explained on Instagram Friday afternoon. This means the top favorite will not be competing in the year’s final Grand Slam tournament.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The US Open, which begins at the end of next week, will take place without Jannik Sinner. The world No. 1 withdrew from the tournament on Friday due to a knee injury. He said he had worked hard with his team and medical staff but had now had to “make this difficult decision.” He had most recently been training for a few days in Monte Carlo. “I realized that I need more time to recover from my knee injury.”
Alcaraz Back in the Lineup
The 25-year-old had already withdrawn from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati due to problems with his right knee. The South Tyrolean played his last match to date on July 12, winning the Wimbledon final against Alexander Zverev. Two years ago, Sinner claimed his second of five Grand Slam titles to date with a three-set victory over American Taylor Fritz. In last year’s final in New York, the South Tyrolean lost to Carlos Alcaraz in four sets.
The Spaniard missed this year’s French Open and Wimbledon, among other tournaments, due to a wrist injury sustained in April. However, he had announced his comeback for the US Open on Thursday. In any case, Sinner’s withdrawal has improved the chances of Zverev—now the top seed—to win his second Grand Slam title. Six years ago, the German lost in five sets to Dominic Thiem of Lower Austria at this major, which was played in front of empty stands due to the pandemic.
