Draper is forced out of US Open due to arm injury

Draper had been due to face Zizou Bergs in the second round at Flushing Meadows today, but the Belgian will advance via a walkover after his opponent's withdrawal with an arm injury. Hopes had been high that the 23-year-old left-hander could build on a breakthrough run to the semifinals of the New York grand slam last year, having also won Indian Wells earlier this year. But after beating Federico Agustin Gomez in four sets in the first round, Draper has decided that he is unable to continue to compete.
