Injury forces Raonic out of US Open
NEW YORK, Aug 26, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Canada’s Milos Raonic has pulled out of
the US Open with a glute injury, tournament organisers announced Sunday.
The former Wimbledon finalist endured an injury-hit season and has not
played since retiring during the second round of the Montreal Masters this
month.
Raonic, 28, will be replaced by Kamil Majchrzak of Poland, who lost in the
final round of qualifying.
World number 22 Raonic also missed the French Open each of the past two
years because of injury. He reached the last 16 on four occasions at Flushing
Meadows.
