NEW YORK – Three-time Grand Slam semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov withdrew from the U.S. Open on Tuesday, which was the time for him tore his chest muscles for more than a month and had to resign with Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon.
Withdrawal from All England Club on July 7 – Dimitrov held two openings against Sinner but suffered damage in the third inning – marking the fifth consecutive Grand Slam Championship, the 34-year-old Dimitrov failed to finish the match. It also happened at the Australian Open in January and the French Open in May, as well as last year’s Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
In New York a year ago, Dimitrov stopped when he beat Frances Tiafoe 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (5), 6-3, 4-1 in the quarterfinals.
Dimitrov is the 2019 U.S. Open, the 2017 Australian Open and the 2014 semi-final at Wimbledon.
His highest ranking is third. He is currently ranked 21st.
With Dimitrov’s appearance, Alejandro Tabilo has gained a spot in men’s singles brackets, which will start on August 24.
Brandon Holt is the next player and will enter a draw if another man withdraws. Holt was upset at 2022 at Taylor Fritz of Flushing Meadows, whose mother was twice-winning U.S. Open champion Tracy Austin.
