Sinner targets China: he has already returned to training

Jannik Sinner is back in the news after days of rest, processing the hard blow of not being able to participate in the US Open 2026. While Carlos Alcaraz completes a successful return (so far) to the circuit after a four-and-a-half-month absence during which the Italian won a Grand Slam, it is now the other side of this legendary rivalry that watches the spectacle from home, waiting for the moment to return to battle against the best.

It seems, however, that the weeks of rest and not being able to step on a tennis court are nearing their end. Following a timeline prior to his final withdrawal from the US Open, with very few updates and, above all, very few images of Jannik training, the situation now seems to be very different. Recent days seem to have boosted Sinner's physical condition: he has been seen training in Turin, and the Italian press points to the ATP Beijing 2026 as the venue chosen by the San Candido player to return to the ATP circuit.

This is the latest on Sinner: he is now training in Italy

Throughout this Monday, September 7, Jannik has been back on the courts of Circolo Stampa Sporting, where he met with much of his team, especially those responsible for his physical condition and recovery. They all gathered around the Italian to give him their impressions on his return to wielding a racket, a day of happiness in which Sinner even dared to sign autographs for some fans who approached courts that also serve as training for the ATP Finals.

The last news we had about Jannik was also positive: he was at the paddock of the Monza circuit last Sunday, where he saw his good friend Kimi Antonelli crowned the winner of the Formula 1 Gran Premio di Monza. From there he stated that "the knee is doing well"; however, we didn't have any references indicating progress in his recovery... until today.

Additionally, the Italian press that has reported this information points to a tournament that Sinner has set his sights on for his return to the circuit. It is the ATP Beijing 2026, where he would enter as the top seed and which will take place starting September 30. Jannik would have over 20 days from his return to the courts to prepare without the knee showing negative signs, plenty of time to return to the circuit gradually, without pushing too hard. The return of the world number one is approaching... and we will be ready to witness it.
