World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Masters due to a right knee injury, dealing a blow to his preparations for the US Open. The five-time Grand Slam champion, who defended his Wimbledon title in July, also missed the Canadian Open. Sinner said he is not ready to compete and is focusing on recovering for the US Open starting August 30. The Cincinnati field is further depleted after Carlos Alcaraz pulled out with a wrist injury. The main draw begins August 13.
