Djokovic Supports Sinner’s Decision to End 2026 Season Over Knee Injury

Novak Djokovic has backed Jannik Sinner’s decision to miss the remainder of the 2026 season as he recovers from a persistent knee injury. Sinner has not played since winning Wimbledon in July. He has missed the North American hard-court events, the US Open and the Asian swing, and will also sit out the ATP Finals in Turin. Djokovic said Sinner was right to prioritise his long-term fitness over immediate competition. The Italian’s absence could give Alexander Zverev an opportunity to challenge for the year-end world No. 1 ranking.
