Jannik Sinner to Miss Remainder of Year Due to Knee Inflammation
Top-ranked Jannik Sinner announced he will miss the rest of the year due to ongoing knee inflammation. He has not competed since July and withdrew from the U.S. Open because of a right knee injury.
Wichita Falls & Lawton, TX, October 6, 2026 — Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner has announced that he will not compete for the remainder of the year due to ongoing knee inflammation. The decision comes after a period of absence from professional competition, with Sinner last having competed in July.
Sinner’s withdrawal from the rest of the season is attributed to a persistent issue with his right knee, which previously led him to pull out of the U.S. Open. The specific timeline for the onset of this inflammation and the full extent of the treatment plan were not detailed in the announcement.
The Italian player, widely recognized as one of the top talents in men’s tennis, has had a notable season leading up to this point. However, the ongoing knee issue has now forced an early conclusion to his competitive calendar for the year. Information regarding when Sinner is expected to return to play in the next season was not immediately available.
