Jannik Sinner pulls out of Beijing ATP 500 over lingering knee problems
Sinner announced on social media that he will miss the Beijing ATP 500 because his knee is still not at the desired level.
Jannik Sinner used his social channels to confirm his withdrawal from the Beijing ATP 500, citing an unsatisfactory recovery of his knee. He has been absent from competition since his Wimbledon triumph over Alexander Zverev. While the Shanghai Masters presents a key opportunity for points and sponsor commitments, his participation is still unclear.
Potential appearances in Vienna later in October or the Riyadh Six Nations Slam are being weighed, though security concerns may affect the latter. Medical examinations conducted in Milan and Turin this year have not yet cleared him to return. Despite recent positive signals from Davis Cup captain Filippo Volandri about increasing training loads, Sinner posted a photo with Cobolli after a session at the Country Club di Montecarlo, indicating ongoing rehab efforts.
