World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Shanghai Masters because of a lingering knee injury, according to a report from Al Jazeera. The Italian player has not competed since winning Wimbledon in July.
Sinner's absence has already kept him out of the US Open earlier this year, as well as the ongoing ATP 500 tournament in Beijing, extending a break from the tour that has now stretched for several months.
Extended Layoff Since Wimbledon Triumph
Sinner's Wimbledon victory in July marked a high point of his season, but the knee problem that has since kept him sidelined has prevented him from building on that momentum through the North American and Asian swing of tournaments.
His withdrawal from the Shanghai Masters, one of the top events on the ATP calendar, removes one of the tour's leading players from a major tournament for a third consecutive significant event since his major title run.
No details were immediately available on when Sinner might be expected to return to competition. His continued absence raises questions about his readiness for the remainder of the 2026 season as he works to recover from the injury.
