Overview
- Sinner has had four preventive medical visits and repeated physiotherapy sessions in Turin and Milan in recent days under doctors Gianluca Melegati and Luca Semperboni, and his right knee is reported to be improving.
- The team is considering whether to travel to the United States to play the Cincinnati Masters or to delay departure and go straight to New York, with the final call expected around the tournament draw on August 12.
- Cincinnati is seen as a useful hard‑court test before the US Open but carries risk because of heat, humidity and the short time between events, and Sinner retired from the 2025 Cincinnati final after physical problems.
- Latest reporting indicates the camp is leaning toward extra days of treatment at J|Medical and that skipping Cincinnati is increasingly likely, though no official withdrawal has been announced.
- The choice reflects Sinner’s heavy 2026 workload — multiple Masters 1000 titles and Wimbledon — and is meant to protect his form for the US Open and the rest of the season even if it means fewer match minutes on hard courts.
