Jannik Sinner Withdraws From US Open Mixed Doubles: 'Really Sorry To Disappoint'
World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the US Open mixed doubles due to illness. Sinner retired during the Cincinnati Open final against Carlos Alcaraz.
World number one Jannik Sinner, who retired during the final of the Cincinnati Open, and his playing partner Katerina Siniakova have withdrawn from the US Open mixed doubles draw, tournament organisers confirmed on Tuesday.
'Jannik Sinner and Katerina Siniakova have withdrawn from the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship," read a statement on the US Open website.
'The withdrawal comes after Sinner was forced to retired due to illness during the Cincinnati Open final against Carlos Alcaraz on Monday."
What Did Jannik Sinner Say?
'Yesterday I didn't feel great and I'm really sorry to disappoint you. Thank you so much to everyone supporting me on-site and from home, your support means the world," world number one Sinner posted on X on Tuesday.
'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 24-year-old conceded defeat to Alcaraz after falling 5-0 behind in the first set of the Cincinnati final, due to an illness that struck just before the match.
'I'm disappointed, I didn't feel great from yesterday," Sinner said on court. 'During the night, I thought I would recover a bit better, but it was not the case."
Sinner did not speak to journalists after the loss, only issuing a statement confirming he would definitely play singles at the US Open in New York, where the main draw begins on Sunday.
'I love Grand Slams a lot, they are the main tournaments for, for my season and my career," reigning US Open champion Sinner said.
'The US Open is going to be a tough tournament, but in the same time, I'm looking forward to it if I'm ready, physically and mentally."
The statement did not address his participation in the mixed doubles, which is organised on Tuesday and Wednesday in a new shortened format featuring the world's best singles players, raising doubts about his ability to compete.
Sinner and Siniakova will be replaced by the American duo of Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison, who will face Switzerland's Belinda Bencic and Germany's Alexander Zverev in the first round.

But, also, I kind of wanted a little time capsule for my daughter to watch when she grows up,' People magazine quoted Osaka as saying. Osaka welcomed her first child in July 2023. She later decided to get back on the field, and within six weeks after giving birth, she started working out. On social media, she often shared images and videos of her workouts.
