Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the US Open mixed doubles event, where he was going to partner Katerina Siniakova, a day after illness forced the world number one to retire five games into his Cincinnati Open final.
Sinner, the reigning Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open champion, looked uncomfortable in sweltering conditions on Monday at Cincinnati where he retired after falling behind 5-0 to Carlos Alcaraz in the first set. “Congrats to @carlosalcaraz and his team, you’re having an incredible season and I wish you all the best for what’s ahead. Now it’s time to rest a couple of days before getting back to work.”
The reimagined mixed doubles competition, a two-day event featuring 16 teams, began yesterday but the official draw and order of play no longer featured the Sinner-Siniakova entry. The main singles draw at the US Open is scheduled to begin on Sunday.
