Four-time Grand Slam winner Jannik Sinner was forced to withdraw from the mixed doubles at Flushing Meadows due to illness, with the US Open singles just around the corner

No one will be getting an early glimpse at the men’s world No.1 singles player in Flushing this year, nor an 11-time Grand Slam doubles champion.

The No. 1-ranked Sinner, the defending champion in singles at Flushing Meadows, was supposed to compete in mixed doubles with Katerina Siniakova.

Former US Open champion Mats Wilander predicts this year's winner at the final Major event of the season. The Swede sees Jannik Sinner as the main contender, placing the defending champion above Carlos Alcaraz.

Jannik Sinner’s recovery from physical and psychological stress was outlined, easing doubts over his US Open participation after the Cincinnati setback.

Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz underlined their hard court credentials ahead of the US Open with victories over Jasmine Paolini and Jannik Sinner respectively in the women's and men's singles tournaments at the Cincinnati Open.

It felt like tennis had delivered the perfect script—world No. 1 Jannik Sinner versus world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in a Masters 1000 final. Both had torn through the draw in Cincinnati, barely breaking a sweat, setting up the dream clash fans had been waiting for.
