Sinner’s season is over: he will return to the court in 2027
The tennis player will return to competition in 2027; for now, he is taking a break due to knee problems: “I’ll do everything I can to get back to 100 per cent.”
“Hello everyone, I’d like to give you a quick update. Together with the doctors, we’ve decided that I need a course of treatment for my knee, which means that the 2026 season is officially over.” The news arrived this morning – something that had been in the air, but which we had hoped not to hear – that Jannik Sinner is withdrawing from the final tournaments of this year’s circuit. The announcement came from the player himself via an Instagram video posted on his profile. The South Tyrolean has been sidelined since the Wimbledon final, where he defeated Sasha Zverev to defend his Wimbledon title for the second year running.
The tennis player is once again being forced to rest due to a knee problem – tendinopathy in his right knee. This is extra-articular tendon inflammation which does not require surgery, but which must be treated with rest and is therefore not compatible with high-intensity training.
This dashes any hopes of seeing the world number one play on home soil at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin. “At the moment, I also need to think about my long-term career. So I’ll do everything I can to get back to 100 per cent. I’d like to thank you all in advance for your support and I hope to see you all back on court very, very soon,” Sinner reassured fans.
