Sinner & Draper withdraw from US Open
World number one Jannik Sinner and Britain's Jack Draper pull out of the upcoming US Open through injury.
Jannik Sinner and Jack Draper have both withdrawn from the 2024 US Open due to injury. Sinner, the world number one, has been dealing with a knee problem since winning his second Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in July. Draper, ranked within the top five globally, withdrew due to a long-term arm injury. Both players had been preparing for the New York tournament, with Sinner claiming his fifth Grand Slam singles title and Alcaraz recently returning from a four-month wrist injury.
Sinner's withdrawal deprives fans of witnessing the generational rivalry between him and Alcaraz, who dominated the 2024 season. The US Open singles main draws are set to commence on Sunday, 30 August.
