Sinner withdraws from China Open, extends injury absence
–
Neutral summary
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has pulled out of the China Open in Beijing, an ATP 500 event scheduled for September 30 to October 6, extending his absence from the tour. The 25-year-old Italian announced the decision on social media on September 25, saying his right knee “is not where I would like it to be” and that he is “not ready to compete yet.” Sinner has not played since July 12, when he won his fifth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon; the knee injury also forced him to miss the US Open. He was the defending champion in Beijing, having won the title there in 2025. Several outlets, including Kicker and La Tercera, note that Alexander Zverev's chances of becoming world No. 1 have increased as a result. Sinner said he will do everything possible to return as soon as he can; The Independent reports he could return at the Masters tournament in Shanghai. La Repubblica adds that Sinner joked about the situation with Anna Wintour during Milan Fashion Week, saying there would be “trouble” if he does not return by January.
