World No.1 Sinner may miss US Open due to knee injury
Tennis star Jannik Sinner is in doubt for participation at the upcoming US Open, which could lead to other top players making an impact. As of now, he remains on the entry list and still has a chance to play; however, his status hangs by a thread amid concerns over his knee health.
Sinner’s absence would be significant as it leaves star power lacking in the tournament, especially considering that Carlos Alcaraz's availability is also questioned. His participation hinges on whether he can effectively manage his knee injury after not playing competitive matches at the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open.
What Mouratoglou advises
In an interview with his coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, Sinner must keep his matches short to succeed if he wants to play. Mouratoglou noted that given his gap in match fitness and current injury, Sinner has a tall order ahead.
Royal Spanish Racquets: “Sinner does not have the luxury of time and is under pressure, but he’s still the favorite due to seedings. He needs to be efficient on court.”Frequently Asked Questions
