Sinner Withdraws from Cincinnati, US Open Status in Doubt

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has pulled out of the Cincinnati Open with a right knee injury, sending shockwaves through the tennis world just three weeks before the US Open. The withdrawal marks the second consecutive Masters 1000 event without the top two players—defending champion Carlos Alcaraz had already pulled out—leaving Cincinnati without its biggest stars. Sinner's injury raises serious questions about his readiness for Flushing Meadows, where he'll look to defend significant ranking points and maintain his grip on the No. 1 spot. The timing couldn't be worse: Cincinnati serves as the final major tune-up before the season's last Grand Slam, and the Italian's absence suggests the knee issue is more than just precautionary.

Meanwhile in Montreal, Ben Shelton advanced to the quarterfinals with a victory over Joao Fonseca, halting the 18-year-old Brazilian's historic run one round after Fonseca became the youngest Masters 1000 quarterfinalist since Nadal in 2005. The No. 10 seed Shelton secured a crucial break at 4-3 in the second set and closed out the match to reach the final eight, where the youth movement continues with Learner Tien, Jakub Mensik, and Botic van de Zandschulp all still alive. In other news, Spanish teenager Rafael Jodar is closing in on a 41-year ATP record with his stunning rankings rise, putting the tennis world on notice ahead of the US Open Series.
