Casper Ruud, the 2022 US Open Runner-up, Withdraws From the Tournament because of an Injury
The 2022 runner-up withdrew after a back injury kept him from recovering in time, and lucky loser Arthur Gea replaces him in the draw.
- On Sunday, 27-year-old Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud withdrew from the US Open singles tournament due to a persistent back injury shortly after the event began at Flushing Meadows.
- Ruud had previously retired during the second set of his Cincinnati Open match against Christopher O'Connell earlier this month, indicating his back failed to heal as quickly as his team had hoped.
- Last week, Ruud partnered with Diana Shnaider in the mixed doubles tournament, where they fell in the quarter-finals to Andrey Rublev and Mirra Andreeva; he was seen struggling to serve in practice.
- Lucky loser Arthur Gea will replace Ruud in the main draw, facing Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the opening round.
- The 2022 finalist said, "It's never easy to miss a Grand Slam, but I know this is the right decision," reflecting on his previous French Open final loss to Rafael Nadal.
