Jannik Sinner withdraws from US Open mixed doubles competition
Jannik Sinner
has withdrawn from the
U.S. 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 U.S. 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.
"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.
