Jannik Sinner has announced his withdrawal from the mixed doubles competition at the US Open. Sinner, who was scheduled to play alongside Katerina Siniakova, decided to pull out after experiencing illness during the Cincinnati Masters final. He faced Carlos Alcaraz in the final, but had to retire due to flu symptoms and a high fever. He had been battling these symptoms since the previous day. Though determined to play in Cincinnati, he recognized his physical limitations and retired. The withdrawal from the mixed doubles allows Sinner to prioritize rest and recovery for the singles tournament. This decision underscores his commitment to a strong defense of his US Open singles title. His Cincinnati performance, despite the unfortunate ending, provided valuable lessons. The focus now shifts to his recovery ahead of the US Open. His goal is to regain full health in time for the tournament. As the defending champion and world No. 1, Sinner is poised to make a significant impact if he recovers completely.
