Jannik Sinner withdraws from the China Open because of a lingering knee injury. The Winnipeg Free Press reports that Sinner’s knee issue continues to affect his ability to compete, prompting the pullout.
The Independent adds that Sinner is extending his injury absence after also withdrawing from another tournament. In comments cited by the outlet, Sinner says his knee is “not where I would like it to be,” indicating his recovery is ongoing rather than complete. The Independent reports that a possible return would be at the Masters tournament in Shanghai, depending on how his knee progresses.
Across the two reports, the core point is consistent: Sinner is not ready to play the China Open and is managing a knee problem over consecutive events. The coverage differs mainly in emphasis—one focuses on the China Open withdrawal, while the other frames it as part of a broader, extended absence and provides a potential timetable for return.
