Sinner Withdraws From Cincinnati With Right-Knee Problem

The team described the move as precautionary to preserve his knee for the US Open.

Overview

  • Sinner officially withdrew from the Cincinnati Masters on Sunday after repeated medical checks found persistent discomfort in his right knee.
  • He completed multiple preventive visits and physiotherapy sessions at J|Medical in Turin and at Physioclinic in Milan under the supervision of team doctors including Gianluca Melegati and Luca Semperboni.
  • Medical assessments reported an overload-related inflammatory problem rather than structural damage, and staff chose conservative treatment and more recovery time.
  • Sinner will continue therapy at J|Medical and is expected to travel to the U.S. to concentrate on targeted training for the US Open instead of competing in Cincinnati.
  • The decision sacrifices short-term match practice on hard courts but reflects a broader shift among top players to protect long-term availability for Grand Slams after a dense 2026 season.
