Jack Draper will miss the US Open due to a long-running bone bruising injury which has derailed his last season and a half.
The former world No 4, who reached the semi-finals in New York in 2024, has played sparingly this year as a result of the injury to his dominant left arm, and has decided he needs more time to recover.
He suffered back-to-back losses in Montreal and Cincinnati after another lengthy layoff which saw him miss the French Open and Wimbledon. His withdrawal means he will not have played a single grand slam match in 2026.
The news comes shortly after Jannik Sinner announced he would miss the tournament with a knee issue, although Carlos Alcaraz is set to make his return after a four-month spell on the sidelines with a wrist injury.
