Darren Cahill has eased worries about Jannik Sinner’s health after Sinner had to retire from the Cincinnati Open final. Cahill stated the top-ranked player is on the mend and they expect him to be ready for his US Open title defense.
The 24-year-old Italian pulled out of the US Open mixed doubles, where he was set to team up with Katerina Siniakova, following his illness that led to retirement after five games against world number two Carlos Alcaraz in Cincinnati.
Cahill mentioned the Australian Open and Wimbledon winner was dealing with a virus.
“I had a short chat with him last night. He’s feeling a bit better,” Cahill shared with ESPN on Wednesday.
“Resting is the plan, and hopefully he can hit the court on Thursday for some practice. We believe he’ll be okay.”
The US Open is scheduled for August 24 to September 7.
