Overview

• Eurosport Italy’s Simone Eterno, via Tennis365, reports Sinner will miss the Paris Masters and Italy’s Davis Cup ties, a schedule not yet confirmed by the player or federation.
• Sinner is expected to play the Vienna Open, the ATP Finals in Turin, and the 6 Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia, which could be highly lucrative.
• He retired in the Shanghai Masters third round against Tallon Griekspoor at 2–3 in the decider with severe cramping, one of several retirements during a hot, humid week.
• With Paris reportedly off the slate, Sinner is set to finish the season without an ATP Masters 1000 title as Alcaraz remains locked in for the year-end No. 1.
• Critique of his durability resurfaced—Paolo Bertolucci called him "a bit frail"—even as he hit 59 wins in his first 75 hard-court Masters matches, trailing only Pete Sampras’ 61 at that checkpoint.
