The ‌24-year-old Italian, who claimed his fifth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last month, had also pulled out of the Canadian Open, a key warm-up event for the season's last Grand Slam event in New York. Sinner won the ‌Cincinnati title ‌in ⁠2024 and finished runner-up to seven-times Grand Slam ​champion Carlos Alcaraz there last year. I can't wait ​to ​be back next year ​and I'm now focusing on getting ‌ready for the US Open." Sinner's withdrawal further depletes the field in Cincinnati, with US Open champion Alcaraz also sidelined by a wrist injury. The Cincinnati Open main draw begins on August ​13, while the US Open main draw gets under ​way on August ⁠30.
