Will Sinner manage to be well-positioned for the upcoming US Open?

Concern and uncertainty are not usually two words we associate in recent times with Jannik Sinner, but the recent discomfort in his right knee set off all the alarms and left the player from San Candido in a race against time to arrive in peak condition for the US Open 2026. His absence in Cincinnati has allowed him to buy time, with a principle he shares with Carlos Alcaraz: he does not want to take any risks or rush his return with the goal, of course, of not compromising his long-term health.

With that horizon ahead, the Italian faces upcoming days that will determine if he is fit to compete in the last Grand Slam of the year. The news coming from Italy was, at the time, relatively optimistic... but silence has grown in recent days, and we have barely seen images of Jannik on the court, leading to rampant speculation. To shed some light on the imminent calendar for the player from San Candido, it is journalist Luigi Ansaloni from Gazzetta who details the next steps in his recovery... and even clarifies the dates when Sinner would fly to the United States.

Medical tests, visits, birthday, and the trip: this is Sinner's roadmap

They should be days of celebration for a Jannik who will turn a year older in just a couple of days, on August 16. Before that, several important days: today is crucial, as it marks the last visit of Sinner to J Medical, the Milan clinic he visited a week ago, where he began to realize that making it to Cincinnati would be very rushed. 

Tomorrow, back to Monte Carlo on a day when he should, if all goes well, lace up his shoes to start hitting some balls and physically test himself before heading to the United States; Sunday, August 16 will be a family day to celebrate his 25th birthday, disconnect with his loved ones, and prepare for what lies ahead.

Next week will start with a Jannik who will spend two days undergoing tests, check-ups, and time on the court. What is the objective? To ensure that his body responds and is in optimal condition to face the trip to New York, a trip that would take place starting August 18, between Wednesday and Thursday of next week. 

Thus, Sinner would give himself almost a week and a half to acclimate to the American hard courts, train in Flushing Meadows, and get ready under the same conditions he will find once the competition begins. The Italian will not participate in the mixed doubles event held in the week prior to the tournament, giving himself time to maintain his rhythm and focus solely on training. It is a clear roadmap, a schedule in which Jannik only envisions one clear objective: to compete in New York at 100% and regain the title of US Open champion. Will he achieve it? The race against time has already begun.
