Ruud pulls out of US Open with back injury

Former U.S. Open finalist Casper Ruud has withdrawn from this year's tournament due to a persistent back injury. The Norwegian player, who lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the 2022 final, announced his decision on Instagram, stating that his back had not healed sufficiently despite hopes of recovery. Ruud had previously retired from a match at the Cincinnati Open earlier this month and now will be replaced in the U.S. Open draw by lucky loser Arthur Gea. Ruud also participated in the mixed doubles event last week alongside Diana Shnaider, where they reached the quarter-finals before being defeated by Andrey Rublev and Mirra Andreeva.
