World No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdraws from the China Open in Beijing and will remain sidelined for at least another week, extending an injury break that began after his Wimbledon title in July. The Italian, who is the defending champion in Beijing, posts the decision on X.
Both outlets describe Sinner’s right knee as the key issue. He says the knee is not at the level he wants and that he is not ready to compete yet. Sinner indicates he will work to return as soon as possible, while acknowledging that he will not play in Beijing this year.
The coverage focuses on timing and recovery. Yahoo Sports emphasizes that the postponement follows a longer-than-expected absence since Wimbledon and frames it as a delay of his return. Inquirer.net similarly reports the withdrawal and quotes Sinner’s explanation, highlighting his readiness concerns rather than providing further detail on a specific return date.
