Story summary

World number one tennis player Jannik Sinner will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a knee injury that has kept him out of action since winning the Wimbledon final in July. In an Instagram video, Sinner announced his decision along with medical advice from his doctors, stating he needs treatment for inflammation in his right knee. The Italian tennis star won five consecutive Masters 1000 titles between March and May this year, setting a record as the youngest player to complete the 'career Golden Masters'. With Sinner's absence, Alexander Zverev, who is currently ranked second, could replace him as world number one by the end of the year. Zverev trails Sinner by 1,280 points in the live rankings but has won this year’s French Open and US Open.
