Jannik Sinner is close to getting back on the court after retiring from the final in Cincinnati with an illness.

Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the U.S. Open mixed doubles event, where he was going to partner Katerina Siniakova, a day after illness forced the world number one to retire five games into his Cincinnati Open final.

It was clear immediately that Jannik Sinner was not himself in Cincinnati.

In 2023, Djokovic became the first man in tennis history to get to 24 Grand Slams when he won the US Open. What has happened since then is well-documented as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have established as dominant forces and no one besides those two has won a Major since 2024.

Let GOAL help take you through all the big names who will be taking to the US Open during the final Grand Slam of 2025.

Carlos Alcaraz won the Cincinnati Open on Monday after Jannik Sinner was forced to retire due to illness. Alcaraz was already up big on Sinner, the World No. 1, when he had to retire. Sinner told the crowd that he hoped to play after feeling bad overnight, but he couldn't make it work.

Jannik Sinner’s recovery from physical and psychological stress was outlined, easing doubts over his US Open participation after the Cincinnati setback.
