Bitter! US Open Finalist Ruud Has to Withdraw Shortly Before Tournament Start
The three-time Major finalist has to withdraw due to ongoing back problems.
Another early withdrawal from the ATP field at the US Open!
Casper Ruud pulls out due to severe back pain shortly before his appearance at the last Grand Slam tournament of the year.
The Norwegian reached the final four years ago at the US Open 2022. In addition, the great clay-court specialist made it to the French Open final twice (2022, 2023).
However, Ruud is experiencing a very difficult phase of the season this year with few successful appearances.
Thus, there is another withdrawal of a top player at the US Open. In addition to the withdrawal of superstar Jannik Sinner (knee problems), Brazilian youngster Joao Fonseca also misses the US Open after an abdominal muscle injury.
