MASON, Ohio (WXIX) – Another top-ranking tennis star has withdrawn from the Cincinnati Open<\/a> just days before the tournament\u2019s official start. <\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner, the world\u2019s No. 1 ranking athlete for ATP singles, withdrew from the open due to a right knee injury as a precaution to risking further injury. <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter consulting with my doctors and my team, I have to announce that I need to withdraw from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati,\u201d Sinner said in a statement on Sunday. \u201cMy right knee has been bothering me and even though we have been working hard with my medical team, I have to accept that I\u2019m not ready to compete yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinner, 24, was reportedly seen in Milan attending a non-routine medical appointment to \u201ccheck on the condition of his knee\u201d on Aug. 6. <\/p>\n

Reports say<\/a> the Italian player was debating whether he should remove himself from the tournament or delay his arrival to Cincinnati. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very disappointed not to be able to play in Cincinnati and wish Bob [Moran] and his whole team a great and successful event,\u201d Sinner said. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to be back next year and I\u2019m now focusing on getting ready for the US Open.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinner joins the list of top players who have withdrawn from the annual Cincinnati Open due to injuries. <\/p>\n

Karolina Muchova and Jasmine Paolini<\/a> announced Friday they were withdrawing from the tournament to recover from recent injuries on the court. <\/p>\n

Though neither player disclosed what their injuries are, reports say Muchova had a \u201csmall surgery\u201d after Wimbledon and Paolini is dealing with a left foot injury, preventing her from competing in multiple tournaments. <\/p>\n

Before that, Carlos Alcaraz pulled out of the open because of a persistent wrist injury. <\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Open<\/a> is a crucial tournament for tennis players to compete in as it is utilized as a premier warm-up for the US Open, the final Grand Slam tournament of the year. <\/p>\n

This year marks the 127th year of world-class tennis in Mason. The competition begins with qualifying rounds on Aug. 11 with the first round beginning Aug. 13. <\/p>\n
