Overview
- Sinner has completed on-court fitness drills in Turin and has been treated with shockwave therapy for a right-knee tendon inflammation at J Medical.
- The player and his team report cautious optimism but say he will only fly to New York if specialists formally clear his knee in the next few days.
- Sinner skipped the Montreal and Cincinnati Masters and has not played since winning Wimbledon, so he would have only about a week of match preparation if cleared to compete.
- Doctors and the camp say Flushing Meadows’ hot, humid weather and hard courts raise the risk to a recovering knee and to his immediate performance.
- The decision balances an immediate Grand Slam chance against long-term career health and will affect the tournament’s competitive landscape and TV interest.
