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 with 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.
- Despite the injury, Ruud competed in the mixed doubles tournament last week alongside Diana Shnaider, though the pair fell in the quarter-finals to Andrey Rublev and Mirra Andreeva.
- Lucky loser Arthur Gea replaces Ruud in the main draw and will face Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the opening round match.
- Acknowledging the difficulty of missing a Grand Slam, Ruud stated, "It's never easy to miss a Grand Slam, but I know this is the right decision," reflecting on his 2022 US Open final loss to Carlos Alcaraz and previous French Open final appearance against Rafael Nadal.
