World number one Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from the China Open, saying his knee is not yet ready for competition as he continues recovering from the injury that also forced him to miss the US Open. The 25-year-old Italian has not played since winning Wimbledon in July and will be unable to defend the Beijing title he won last year. Novak Djokovic returns to the tournament after an 11-year absence as one of its headline attractions.
