# Tennis: World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from next week’s China Open in Beijing, delaying his return to competitive tennis. The Italian has been sidelined since winning Wimbledon in July because of a right knee injury, which also forced him to miss the US Open. Sinner said his knee is not yet where he wants it to be. He was due to defend his China Open title after winning the tournament last year. Sinner says he will do everything possible to return to court as soon as possible.
