Jannik Sinner Resumes Training Following Knee Injury Treatment

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner returned to Monte Carlo on Saturday to resume tennis training after finishing a three-week medical treatment program in Turin for an extra-articular tendinopathy in his right knee.

The medical team at J Medical successfully resolved the inflammation in Sinner's knee, allowing him to progress from therapy to controlled physical activity. The joint injury had previously kept the Italian star out of the entire North American hard-court swing, including the US Open.

Sinner previously reflected on his decision to withdraw from the final Grand Slam of the season during his recovery period.

"Even though I have been working hard with my team and my medical staff, we have now had to make the difficult decision that I will not be able to compete at the US Open this year," said Jannik Sinner, professional tennis player.

The top-ranked player expressed his emotional reaction to missing the tournament in New York.

"We have been back on court in Monte Carlo over the last couple of days and have realised that I still need more time to recover from my right knee issue," said Jannik Sinner, professional tennis player.

Sinner emphasized his disappointment regarding the missed opportunity to perform before his fans.

"I'm obviously very sad and disappointed, as New York has a special place in my heart. I was very much looking forward to coming back and playing in the electric atmosphere in front of the great fans there," said Jannik Sinner, professional tennis player.

The current target for Sinner's competitive comeback is the ATP 500 China Open in Beijing starting September 30, where he is the defending champion. If he requires additional recovery time, the Shanghai Masters 1000 from October 7 to 18 offers a secondary window for his return.
