World No. 1 Sinner withdraws from US Open 2026 due to right knee injury
- World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the 2026 US Open due to a right knee injury — his first Grand Slam absence since 2019.
- Sinner already missed the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open with the same knee — shockwave therapy in Turin has not cleared it in time.
- He holds a 44-3 record and five titles in 2026 — his withdrawal opens the door for Carlos Alcaraz, who is returning from a wrist injury.
