Jannik Sinner has announced his withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open set for next week due to a right knee injury. The world number one also missed the Canadian Open and has not played since winning Wimbledon last month. Sinner expressed disappointment over the withdrawal but is focusing on recovery ahead of the US Open, which starts on August 30. His absence follows that of fellow top player Carlos Alcaraz, who withdrew due to a wrist injury, meaning the tournament will not feature either of the top two players in men's singles.
