Britain's Draper out of US Open with injury


NEW YORK: British fifth seed Jack Draper pulled out of the US Open on Wednesday ahead of his second-round match with a niggling arm injury.

Draper reached the semi-finals in New York last year but missed the warm-up events in Toronto and Cincinnati while nursing an injury to his left arm.

The 23-year-old beat Argentine qualifier Federico Agustin Gomez in four sets in the opening round on Monday but withdrew before he was scheduled to face Belgium’s Zizou Bergs.

“Hi guys, I’m sorry to say I’ll be withdrawing from the US Open,” Draper wrote on social media.

“I tried my very best to be here and give myself every chance to play but the discomfort in my arm has become too much and I have to do what is right and look after myself. Thank you for all the support.”
