Jannik Sinner, the current world number one in tennis, has withdrawn from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati for health reasons. The withdrawal comes shortly before the US Open, which begins on August 30.

According to reports, the 24-year-old Italian is suffering from a knee injury that prevents him from participating in the upcoming tournament. The focus is now on getting fit in time for the US Open in New York.

This development raises questions about his competitiveness at the US Open, especially regarding his rivals, including Alexander Zverev. Sinner will not play in Cincinnati to allow for his recovery.
