Jannik Sinner withdraws from the China Open because of lingering knee injury‎

Jannik Sinner will not be able to defend his China Open title, further delaying his return from injury as he says his knee is not quite ready yet. The top-ranked Sinner has not played since beating Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon final. “I am very sorry to announce that I won’t be able to play in Beijing this year,” Sinner said in a video on social media.
