Overview
- Sinner withdrew from the Cincinnati Masters this month because his right knee had been bothering him and he said he was not ready to compete.
- Italian reports say Sinner completed shockwave therapy at JMedical in Turin on Saturday, August 15, as part of ongoing treatment and rehab.
- He is not scheduled to play any lead‑up tournaments before the US Open and is expected to travel to New York with roughly a dozen days of training.
- Former British No. 1 Greg Rusedski warned that skipping tune‑up events is “concerning” for Sinner’s US Open prospects and argued Sinner has been beatable outside Masters events this year.
- The lack of match preparation could change the US Open picture if other top players are also underprepared, and Sinner’s team will likely focus on managing his knee to preserve his season and long‑term form.
