World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the US Open because of a right knee injury, ending his run of consecutive Grand Slam appearances since making his major debut at Flushing Meadows in 2019.
The Italian star, who was expected to be among the leading contenders for the title in New York, will instead remain in Europe to continue his recovery, with his team targeting a return during the Asian swing later this season.
