Arthur Fils has withdrawn from the US Open, where he reached the second round last year, due to injury. The Frenchman returned from a stress fracture in his back in Toronto, but has not competed since.
"After an injury that kept me away from the court, a warning sign felt during my comeback — first in Toronto, then in Cincinnati — led me to make the difficult but reasonable decision to withdraw from the US Open," Fils wrote on Instagram Stories. This decision was made to allow for a full recovery.
"I'm working hard every day with my team to come back strong and be ready for this end of season. Thank you for all your support."
The 21-year-old withdrew before his third-round match at Roland Garros and did not play again until Canada's ATP Masters 1000 event at the end of July. Fils defeated former Top 10 player Pablo Carreno Busta there before falling to Jiri Lehecka in three sets.
The No. 20 player in the PIF ATP Rankings was in the Cincinnati Open draw and was on site training, but withdrew due to the same injury.
Fils owns a 22-11 record this season, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, and reached a career-high World No. 14 in April.
