Jannik Sinner Withdraws from U.S. Open Mixed Doubles

In a recent development, Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the U.S. Open mixed doubles event. This decision came shortly after an illness forced him to retire from the Cincinnati Open final.

Sinner was set to team up with Katerina Siniakova, but their entry was removed from the official draw, which features a reimagined format of 16 teams over two days.

Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison have stepped in as replacements and are scheduled to face Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev in the first round. Sinner, who is a reigning champion of major tournaments, looked visibly uncomfortable during his recent match in Cincinnati.
