Former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova and British No 2 Cameron Norrie have both withdrawn from the US Open, according to the USTA. Both players are continuing their recovery from injuries that also kept them out of the Paris Olympics. Vondrousova is dealing with a hand injury, which led her to prioritize being fit for the final Grand Slam of the year, scheduled to begin on August 26 in New York.
Norrie, who reached the fourth round of the US Open in 2022, is sidelined with a forearm injury. This issue also prevented him from competing in the Olympics. In a statement on Instagram, Norrie expressed his frustration and determination to return to form, saying he plans to rest and recharge before getting back to competitive play.
Both players' withdrawals mark a significant change in the line-up for the upcoming US Open, highlighting the challenges they face in their recovery. Vondrousova and Norrie will be missed by fans, but their focus remains on regaining full fitness and returning to the court at their best.
