Jannik Sinner will remain sidelined from training as he continues to recover from the right knee problem that forced him to withdraw from the US Open.
The world No. 1 underwent further tests in Turin, with doctors advising him to stay away from tennis training until at least September 6. No structural damage has been reported, but the inflammation in his right knee has yet to fully subside.
According to Gazzetta, Sinner has been told to rest completely this week, and his spell away from the court could be extended further depending on how his recovery progresses.
The Italian has been undergoing regular treatment at J Medical in Turin in recent weeks, including physiotherapy, rehabilitation exercises and shockwave therapy. The problem is believed to have developed during his post-Wimbledon preparations as a result of overuse.
The injury has already forced Sinner to miss the final Grand Slam of the season. He confirmed on August 21 that he would not compete at the US Open after failing to recover in time for the tournament.
With New York now off the schedule, Sinner is reportedly targeting the China Open in Beijing, which begins on September 30, for his return to competitive action. Any comeback, however, will depend on how his knee responds once he is cleared to resume training.
