Overview
- Late July Sinner officially withdrew from the ATP Masters 1000 in Montreal and announced he will skip that event and play only Cincinnati as his single warm-up before the US Open.
- Sinner posted a Montecarlo training video captioned “Back to work,” confirming he has resumed on-court preparation while resting rather than competing in Canada.
- Fellow players and former pros publicly defended Sinner’s choice as prudent workload management while some Italian commentators and fans criticized the decision.
- Montreal will proceed without Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, elevating Alexander Zverev to top seed, while Cincinnati is shaping into a high-profile reunion as Alcaraz and Djokovic also plan returns there.
- Reports note Sinner’s rising commercial stature with about €61 million in career prize money and an estimated €35 million a year in sponsorship value, and he has confirmed a late-season entry at the China Open in Beijing.
