Jannik Sinner stated that he "needs a few days to recover," which also means he will not be able to take part in the upgraded mixed doubles event at the US Open.

Here is the complete statement from Sinner to the press:

* Jannik, it was a tough result today. How are you feeling at the moment?

- Yes, of course, I'm very disappointed. Since yesterday, I haven't felt well. Even last night, I thought I would recover a bit more, but it didn't happen. I only tried to play for the fans, but today wasn't my day. Sometimes things like this just happen. However, I don't want to take away from Carlos's win. He had a fantastic week, a really great tournament. Right now, my main focus is obviously the US Open. And yes, recovery is now my top priority.

* Overall, how do you assess your performance in Cincinnati?

- Making it to the final of a Masters 1000 event is always a big achievement. We'll keep moving forward, keep working hard as I've said. Now, I see some areas I need to improve if I want to go deeper at the US Open. This week was a good test, helping me understand where I stand.

Sinner’s top priority is to recover his health

* Are you excited about returning to Grand Slam action in New York?

- The US Open is going to be a tough tournament, but I'm really looking forward to it. If I'm fully prepared both physically and mentally, I'll be ready to push myself. As I said, now it's a few days of recovery, then we'll get back to work.

* Final question: What do you think you need to do to reach the right form for New York?

- Serving and serve percentages—we'll focus a lot on those. Physically, as we saw today, I need to recover but also improve. And, you know, everything needs to come together. We need to try to eliminate every small mistake, no matter how minor, to get better.
