Injury forces Sinner to withdraw from Shanghai Masters

(Dan Tri) - In the third round of the Shanghai Masters 2025 in the early morning of October 6 against Tallon Griekspoor, Jannik Sinner was injured and had to leave the tournament in China.

In this match, when Tallon Griekspoor was leading Jannik Sinner with a score of 6-7, 7-5, 3-2, the Italian player decided to stop playing due to a leg injury.

The Dutchman also suffered a foot problem during an early save and needed medical attention before the second set. The hot and humid weather in China is believed to have played a part in both Sinner and Griekspoor's injuries.

Jannik Sinner became the first player to retire from two consecutive ATP Masters 1000 events as defending champion. Previously, the Italian player faced a similar situation when facing Alcaraz in the final of the Cincinnati Open 2025.

Facing Jannik Sinner, Tallon Griekspoor played with great effort in the first set, not even giving the second seed a chance to break his serve and had to enter a tie-break. However, in this nerve-wracking "shootout", Sinner showed his class when winning.

In set 2, Tallon Griekspoor played explosively and especially in game 11, he won the break-point to win with a score of 7-5.

In set 3, Sinner fought hard until the end of game 5 and when he was down 2-3, he limped, lost his next serve game and collapsed on the chair. Despite his best efforts, Sinner had to give up when he could barely stand.

Jannik Sinner could not maintain his winning streak in his 11th match against a Dutch opponent. For his part, Griekspoor broke his 6-loss streak against Sinner and became the first Dutch player to reach the 4th round of the 2025 Shanghai Masters, where he will face Valentin Vacherot.
