The 25-year-old Italian told social media on Friday that he won’t be ready when the main draw begins on August 30.
Sinner was the 2024 US Open champion and lost to Carlos Alcaraz in last year’s final.
Alcaraz posted on social media on Thursday that he would be ready to play in New York after being out of action since April because of a right wrist injury.
The rivalry between them has dominated men’s tennis in recent years and they met in the last three Grand Slam finals last year. Alcaraz won the most recent with his four-set victory in New York.
That ended Sinner’s title reign after beating Taylor Fritz in straight sets in the 2024 final.
Sinner is 44-3 with six titles this year. He had a stunning collapse at the French Open, blowing a two-set lead while struggling in the heat in his second-round match against Juan Manuel Cerundolo.
He then sat out until Wimbledon, where his victory gave him five Grand Slam titles.
It will be the first time Sinner has missed a Grand Slam tournament since making his major debut at the US Open in 2019.
