Overview
- Sinner announced he will not play the US Open and will keep recovering in Europe under Dr. Gianluca Melegati and J Medical with the goal of competing in Beijing and then Shanghai.
- Medical checks reported by multiple outlets said no structural lesion was found and described the issue as a tendinous inflammation from overuse, but Sinner’s team has not released detailed reports or a firm prognosis.
- The expected layoff is about two and a half months, which ends his streak of 27 consecutive Grand Slams and forces him to miss his first Major since 2019 while leaving him with a short-term ranking cushion.
- Fan videos of light training in Monte Carlo and tight control of medical information by Sinner’s staff have increased public scrutiny and prompted online speculation about his condition.
- Commentators point to Sinner’s intense March–May run — five Masters 1000 titles and roughly 31 matches in about three months — as a likely factor for overuse and have renewed debate over player scheduling and recovery strategies.
