Jannik Sinner and Katerina Siniakova have withdrawn from the US Open mixed doubles, which is set to start on Tuesday in New York.
The participation of Sinner had been in doubt after the No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings was forced to retire due to illness from his Cincinnati Open final with Carlos Alcaraz on Monday afternoon. Sinner and Siniakova’s spot in the mixed doubles draw at Flushing Meadows will be taken by home favourites Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison.
The first two rounds of the Grand Slam event will take place Tuesday, and the semi-finals and final will be played Wednesday. First-round matchups to watch in New York include top seeds Jack Draper/Jessica Pegula against Carlos Alcaraz/Emma Raducanu, and Olga Danilovic/Novak Djokovic against Mirra Andreeva/Daniil Medvedev.
Sinner has 294 career singles match wins according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, and will reach the 300-wins milestone in New York should he reach the final.
The reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion slipped to 5-9 in his Lexus ATP Head2Head series with Alcaraz after the Cincinnati Open final.
