Joao Fonseca has become the third men\u2019s seeded player to withdraw from the main draw of the US Open with the rising star out due to an abdomen injury.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old competed at the Cincinnati Open just over a week ago, beating Botic van de Zandschulp in the round of 64, but then withdrew from his third-round match against Chris O\u2019Connell due to injury.<\/p>\n
Fonseca was due to be seeded 26th at the season-ending Grand Slam, but he announced on Monday that he won\u2019t be competing at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to give you all an update. After undergoing tests and starting treatment on my abdomen, it became clear to me and my team that I need more time to recover 100% and be able to compete at a high level,\u201d he wrote on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, unfortunately, I won\u2019t be able to play in the US Open. It wasn\u2019t an easy decision to make, since it\u2019s a very special tournament for me. We\u2019re continuing to work to get back as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
