Italy’s Jannik Sinner’s coach Darren Cahill has provided some update about the player’s chances of featuring in the upcoming US Open 2025. The fourth and the final Grand Slam of the year will begin on August 24 in New York.

Defending champion Jannik Sinner, who has been recovering from illness, received a more favourable route to the US Open final than Carlos Alcaraz while Aryna Sabalenka will be tested in her bid to retain her title after the draw was made on Thursday.

Jannik Sinner’s US Open 2025 participation is uncertain after he retired from the Cincinnati Open final due to illness. While coach Darren Cahill is optimistic, concerns remain over the World No.1’s fitness following flu-like symptoms and fever.

Jannik Sinner fell ill a day before his Cincinnati Masters final against Carlos Alcaraz. And as a consequence, he withdrew from the match after trailing 0-5 in the first set.

No one will be getting an early glimpse at the men’s world No.1 singles player in Flushing this year, nor an 11-time Grand Slam doubles champion.

Sinner lasted just five games before retiring from the Cincinnati Open final against Carlos Alcaraz, with just a week to go before the start of the US Open

Jannik Sinner recently withdrew from the Cincinnati final against Carlos Alcaraz due to a viral infection, raising concerns about his ability to defend his title at the US Open, but medical expert Steven Buchwald sees Sinner's withdrawal as a wise choice to ensure optimal recovery and performance for the upcoming tournament.
