Former world number four Holger Rune, sidelined since October by an Achilles tendon injury, has withdrawn from the US Open, organizers said Friday.
The 23-year-old Dane hasn't played competitive tennis since he was hurt in the semi-finals at Stockholm last year.
There had been indications that he was nearing a return when photos surfaced on social media this week of him playing practice sets in Spain with Carlos Alcaraz.
Seven-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz has been sidelined himself since April with a wrist injury but posted on social media Thursday that he was "back" -- just in time for his ***** le defense at the final Grand Slam of the year which starts in New York on August 30.
Rune said in a post on X, captioning a photo with Alcaraz and others, that he was nearing a return.
