Summary
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will miss this year’s US Open after deciding he needs more time to recover from a right knee injury.
The 25-year-old Italian said recent sessions back on court in Monte Carlo showed he was still not ready to compete despite work with his team and medical staff.
Sinner has not played a competitive match since winning Wimbledon in July and said he was "very sad and disappointed" to skip New York, which he called a special place.
