Jannik Sinner withdrew from the Cincinnati Open on Sunday, August 9, 2026, citing a right knee injury, and did not play a match at the tournament. In a statement released by tournament officials, the world No. 1 said, "After consulting with my doctors and my team, I have to announce that I need to withdraw from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati. My right knee has been bothering me and even though we have been working hard with my medical team, I have to accept that I'm not ready to compete yet." Sinner had not competed since winning his second consecutive Wimbledon title the previous month and had already pulled out of the Canadian Open in Toronto days earlier with the same injury. The back-to-back withdrawals raised questions about his fitness heading into the US Open, which begins August 30 in New York. The Cincinnati Open main draw continued without him, with Carlos Alcaraz going on to win the title. The community correctly anticipated this outcome: all voters (0% yes) predicted Sinner would not play, matching the actual result.
