Jannik Sinner’s 2026 season has come to an abrupt end, with the Italian tennis star confirming on Tuesday that he will not return to competitive action this year as he undergoes treatment for a persistent knee injury. The last couple of years, especially the ending in Turin, gave me so many beautiful feelings and emotions, which this year is going to be way different, but at the moment I also need to think about my long-term career, so I will do everything possible to get back to 100%. Me together with the doctors have decided that I need a course of treatment for my knee, which means that the 2026 season is officially over.
Ciao, ciao,” he said. “Hello everyone. I would like to give you a little update. I will thank you already in advance for your support, and hope to see you very, very soon on court again.
Before the injury setback, Sinner had enjoyed one of the most dominant stretches of his career.
