The Italian star, who had been in strong form leading up to the tournament, left fans and commentators baffled as he exited the court during his fourth-round match.
Sinner, seeded sixth at Flushing Meadows, appeared visibly unwell during the match, struggling with his movement and focus. Medical staff were called to assess his condition, but the specifics of his ailment remain unclear.
A Sudden End to a Promising Run
The 22-year-old had been one of the standout performers in the early rounds, showcasing the powerful baseline game that has propelled him into the ATP's top 10. His unexpected withdrawal marks another disappointing Grand Slam exit for the young Italian, who has struggled with injuries at major tournaments.
Reactions from the Tennis World
"It's always tough to see a player have to retire, especially someone as talented as Jannik," said former champion John McEnroe. "He's been dealing with these physical issues at the worst possible moments in his career."
Tournament organizers confirmed Sinner's withdrawal but provided no further details about the nature of his illness. The tennis world now waits anxiously for updates on his condition and potential return to competition.
