Jannik Sinner Withdraws From Shanghai Masters Over Unresolved Knee Problem

Specialist assessments have not produced a clear diagnosis, leaving his short‑term schedule and national team prospects in doubt.

Overview

  • Sinner confirmed on Saturday that he will miss the Rolex Shanghai Masters and remains sidelined after his Wimbledon win in mid‑July.
  • Italian reports say he has made multiple specialist visits in cities including Milan, Turin and Lyon but that doctors have so far given no definitive diagnosis or prognosis.
  • Those reports also describe a halted training session in Monte Carlo and say his team and the Italian federation are on high alert about the injury.
  • The withdrawals from key events this season have already cost ranking points and create uncertainty over his ability to play Davis Cup ties and meet criteria tied to Olympic qualification.
  • For now Sinner is reported to be pursuing conservative treatment with surgery described as a last resort, and his planned appearance at the October Riyadh exhibition is now uncertain.
