The world number one forced to miss the Chinese tournament due to a knee injury
AI-generated summary
Jannik Sinner is currently number one in the ATP world rankings. Alexander Zverev is a German tennis player who competes for the top positions in the rankings.
Jannik Sinner still remains in the pits: the Italian has not yet fully recovered from his knee injury and is therefore forced to miss the Masters 1000 in Shanghai.
The announcement was made by the tennis player himself: "Unfortunately this year I won't be able to play at the Rolex Shanghai Masters, as I would have hoped. I've always enjoyed playing in front of the Shanghai fans and I'm really sorry not to be able to do it next week."
The withdrawal of the world number one significantly complicates his quest to defend the top of the world rankings, now even more questioned by Sascha Zverev: the German, winner of Roland Garros and the US Open this year, in fact has a concrete possibility of becoming the new number one by the end of 2026.
