Jannik Sinner withdraws from Shanghai Masters

Tennis star Jannik Sinner remains sidelined due to a lingering knee problem and has officially pulled out of the upcoming Shanghai Masters. Having been out of action since July following a busy spring hardcourt swing where he claimed the Sunshine Double, the 2026 Wimbledon champion is now aiming for a potential return at the Paris Masters in November.

Despite the extended absence, the two-time defending champion sits second in the points standings behind Alexander Zverev, keeping him firmly in contention for a spot at the ATP Finals in Turin. Both Sinner and his primary rival Carlos Alcaraz have encountered major physical setbacks this season, forcing lengthy recovery periods that have limited head-to-head encounters between the two top players.
