**Breaking News: Jannik Sinner Announces Withdrawal**

Jannik Sinner, the World No. 2 and reigning Australian Open champion, has announced his withdrawal from the Italian Open due to a hip injury. This injury has also cast doubt on his participation in the upcoming French Open.

Sinner’s decision comes after consulting with doctors and specialists, revealing that his hip problem has not sufficiently healed, preventing him from competing at one of his favorite tournaments on home soil in Rome.

Sinner had to pull out of the Madrid Open quarterfinals recently due to the same injury, indicating a need for careful management to avoid long-term damage. His team is now focused on ensuring he recovers in time for Roland Garros, though there is still uncertainty about his fitness for the event.
