World No. 1 Jannik Sinner ruled out of US Open with knee injury

World number one Jannik Sinner will not play in the Grand Slam tournament US Open. This is due to an injury. "I am of course very sad and disappointed, as New York has a special place in my heart," Sinner writes on Instagram.

On Thursday, world number two Carlos Alcaraz announced that he plans to play in the US Open after a four-month injury absence. However, the Spaniard will not face rival Sinner. The Italian has problems with his right knee and will miss the final Grand Slam of the year.

"Although I have worked hard with my team and medical staff, we have now been forced to make the difficult decision that I will not be able to compete in the US Open this year," the tennis star wrote.

The US Open starts on August 30.
