JACK Draper's arm injury has forced him to pull out of the US Open.
-
The British number one arrived in New York without having played a match since Wimbledon after being diagnosed with bone bruising in his left arm.
He struggled during his first-round match on Monday but had insisted the problem would not affect his chances in New York, where he reached the semifinals last year.
However, ahead of a scheduled second-round clash with Zizou Bergs today, Draper announced he was withdrawing.
