New York: Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur has withdrawn from the US Open, tournament organisers said on Thursday, the latest disappointment for the 2022 finalist in an injury-plagued season.
She withdrew from the Citi Open earlier this month with a right shoulder injury and was forced to retire in the quarterfinals of the Berlin Open in June. She also missed the Paris Olympics with knee problems.
Jabeur, a two-time Wimbledon finalist, lost to Osaka in the first round of the Toronto Open earlier this month.
With Jabeur’s withdrawal, Elise Mertens will take the Tunisian’s draw spot as the 33rd seed. A qualifier or lucky loser will take the Belgian’s spot.
