Casper Ruud, the 2022 US Open runner-up, withdraws from the tournament because of an injury

New York (AP) — Casper Ruud, the 2022 U.S. Open runner-up, withdrew from the tournament on Sunday due to a back injury. Ruud bowed out after experiencing difficulties in his first match of the Cincinnati Open. Video footage showed the No. 20-ranked player struggling with his serve during practice. Despite participating in the mixed doubles tournament in Flushing Meadows, Ruud was not at his best.

He was subsequently replaced in the draw by Arthur Gea, who unfortunately lost in the final round of qualifying. Ruud, who reached the final of the French Open that year, will face Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the first round of the U.S. Open.
