World No 1 Sinner to miss rest of 2026 season

World No 1 ‌Jannik Sinner will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to the knee injury that has kept him on the sidelines since winning Wimbledon.

Sinner's team said in a statement: "On the advice ​of his ⁠medical team, Jannik ⁠Sinner will follow a course ‌of treatment for inflammation in his knee.

"The decision has been made to have the treatment ⁠now to give ​Jannik the necessary ​time to recover ​before beginning preparations for ⁠2027. As a result, Jannik will be ⁠unable to compete ​again during the 2026 ​season."
