World No. 3 Daniil Medvedev and Australia’s Nick Kyrgios have withdrawn from the US Open tune-up tournament in Washington due to injury, Citi Open organizers said
Medvedev, who won the US Open in 2021, has five titles this year with triumphs in Rotterdam, Doha, Dubai, Miami and Rome. The 27-year-old Russian reached the Wimbledon semifinals earlier this month, losing to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz.
Defending Washington champion Kyrgios has missed every Grand Slam this year due to injuries to his knee, foot and wrist. He has made it onto the court only once, losing in straight sets at the Stuttgart Open in June.
The 28-year-old also won the Washington title in 2019 after beating Medvedev in the final.
This year’s tournament runs from July 31 to Aug. 6.
