Sinner comeback complicated by doctor’s orders
Jannik Sinner has been told to stay off court until September 6 to allow his injured left knee to heal.
The strict doctor’s orders complicate the comeback plans for the world No. 1 who is missing the US Open and has not competed since winning Wimbledon more than six weeks ago.
While his top status is not in any any immediate danger the medical timeout might not allow the Italian to play the ATP Beijing event from September 30.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Sinner drove himself this week from Monaco to a clinic in Milan where he got the hard word from specialists.
The knee problem is reported as inflammation without signs of a tear, meaning his training days will be delayed.
Sinner is hoping to make it to the start of Beijing which is followed by the Shanghai Masters.
The 25-year-old apparently re-injured the knee during training sessions in late July.
