Testing continues for Sinner
The world number 1 has been seen this morning in Turin, where they continue to conduct tests to check the condition of their knee.
Jannik Sinner continues his rehabilitation for his right knee injury, and the Italian tennis player was seen again this morning at J Medical in Turin. This center has been Jannik's base for treating the issue that arose during one of his training sessions at the end of July. There is still no fixed return date, and the inflammation must subside before considering which tournament he will return to.
What injury does Sinner have in his knee?
The world number 1 is following a plan set by the medical team and his physical trainers, alternating some light court work without much intensity, with visits to the medical center in Turin to monitor how the inflammation in his knee is evolving. Reports from the Italian press suggest a tendon issue, due to overloading, without specifying whether it is the patellar tendon or the quadriceps tendon, with the patellar tendon being the more likely candidate.
What type of treatment is Sinner undergoing?
According to Gazzetta, Jannik is receiving shockwave therapy directly on the tendon of his right knee. Tendons have less blood flow than muscles, which means recovery takes longer. Thanks to these shockwaves, the recovery process is accelerated, and he can return to sports practice sooner.

No fixed return for Jannik Sinner in the short term
Specialist doctors in this type of injury have already mentioned a recovery period of a little over a month for a problem like Jannik's, making the timeline for participating in the US Open a bit tight, without confirmation of the severity of the overload injury. With the absence already established, we can speculate that the issue is more serious than it appears.
Sinner does not want to risk overloading the joint further and potentially causing a tear or a chronic problem, so it's best to stop to avoid worse outcomes.
Recovery timelines estimate that Sinner could be available in about two or three weeks, if all goes well, meaning his return to competition might be at the tournaments in Beijing and Shanghai during the Asian swing. Everything will depend on how he progresses and whether the inflammation completely subsides.
The tennis player will continue visiting J Medical to monitor the status of the inflammation before deciding to increase the intensity of training. At times like these, it is more important than ever to be preventive and not to rush.
