Treatment Finished, Birthday Celebrated
Jannik Sinner has wrapped up a course of shockwave therapy on his troublesome right knee at JMedical in Turin, one of his preferred clinical facilities, according to a report in Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. Journalist Richard Crivelli detailed the Italian's schedule, noting that Sinner spent time at the facility completing treatment on the inflamed area before taking a brief break in Monte Carlo to mark his 25th birthday with family.
The news offers a clearer picture of where the five-time Grand Slam champion stands physically. Sinner has not competed since lifting the Wimbledon trophy on July 12, defeating Alexander Zverev in four sets to successfully defend his title at the All England Club. He subsequently skipped the Canadian Open and then withdrew from the Cincinnati Masters, citing the knee problem as the reason he was not ready to compete.
New York Arrival and Preparation Window
According to the same report, Sinner is expected to fly to New York between Monday and Tuesday, leaving him roughly a dozen days of training before the US Open gets underway on August 30. That is a tight turnaround, but it does give him meaningful court time heading into the tournament.
Sinner will be chasing his second Flushing Meadows title this year. He claimed the 2024 US Open crown but fell short at the 2025 edition, losing a four-set final to Carlos Alcaraz. Arriving with zero warm-up matches will test his readiness, though the therapy completion is an encouraging signal for fans who feared a bigger setback.
