Jannik Sinner, currently ranked as the world's number one tennis player, will not participate in the China Open. The athlete confirmed his withdrawal, explaining that he is not physically prepared to return to competitive play.

Sinner’s decision is linked to an ongoing recovery process from a knee injury. This same health issue previously prevented him from competing in the US Open. While Sinner has not provided a specific timeline for his return to the court, his absence from this tournament marks another significant gap in his recent competitive schedule. The announcement highlights the ongoing physical challenges the top-ranked player has faced during the latter half of the season.
