World No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the Shanghai Masters tournament because of a persistent knee injury.
The Italian star has not played a competitive match since claiming the Wimbledon title in July. His extended absence from the tour already cost him a place at the US Open, one of the sport's most closely watched events this year.
Sinner is also missing from the current ATP 500 tournament taking place in Beijing, underscoring how long the injury has kept him off the court.
No details have been disclosed about the exact nature of the knee problem or when Sinner might return to competition. His continued absence raises questions about his form and readiness heading into the remaining tournaments of the season.
The Shanghai Masters is one of the most prestigious events on the ATP calendar, and the top-ranked player's withdrawal will affect both the tournament field and the broader picture of the season's closing stretch.
