Tennis/ Jannik Sinner decides to protect his injured knee: I will be back in 2027!

The world No. 1 will continue therapy in the coming months, thus missing the remaining tournaments of 2026. The Italian will return to action at the Australian Open in 2027.

The year 2026 has ended for Jannik Sinner with the great Wimbledon victory on 12 July. The world No. 1 has chosen to continue conservative therapy on his right knee, which has troubled him for more than three months. He will return in 2027.

“Together with the doctors, we have decided that my knee needs therapy, and this means that 2026 is officially over for me. The season finales of recent years, especially in Turin, have given me great emotions.

“This year will be different, as I have to think about my career over the longer term. I will do everything possible to come back at 100%. Thank you for your support, and I hope to see you on court as soon as possible,” Sinner said in a message on social media.
