Italy's current world champion Jannik Sinner has been sidelined due to knee injuries since he defended his second consecutive title at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in July. Now he has announced that he will give up the rest of the 2026 schedule and be reimbursed early this season.

"After discussing with the doctor, I decided that I need to undergo a complete course of treatment for the knee injury, which means that my 2026 season is also over." Sinner released a video through the social platform, revealing to the fans that in the past two years, especially the two consecutive Turin ATP Year-end Finals home championships , brought me many good feelings and memories. This year will be completely different. "But at this moment, I also need to consider my long-term career. I will do my best to return to the court in 100% condition. Thank you for your support. I hope to see you on the court again soon."

The 25-year-old Sinner has won six championships this season and is the second person in the history of the "Career Masters Golden Slam". Now he has given up defending his title at the China Open this week and has withdrawn from the next thousand-point Shanghai Masters and other schedules, giving the German star Alexander Zverev, who is sitting behind him, a chance to narrow the points gap and even usurp the leading throne at the end of the season.
