No. 5 seed Jack Draper withdraws from the US Open with an injury

At the US Open on Wednesday, world No.5 Jack Draper withdrew due to a left-arm injury after beating Argentine qualifier Federico Agustin Gomez on Monday.
Draper had been managing a bone bruise in his left humerus affecting serves and forehands; he had not played singles for more than seven weeks and returned a week early from an eight-week recovery window.
After an on-site morning practice, pundits noted heavy strapping and Draper admitted he had to 'reign in' his serve to control pain.
Draper's withdrawal means Belgium's Zizou Bergs advances to the third round by walkover, and Draper will lose 750 ATP points, dropping from world No.5 as Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic overtake him on September 7.
Draper is listed for Asian events beginning with the Chengdu ATP 250 on September 17 and the Japan Open on September 24, aiming to recover ahead of the ATP Finals in Turin later this year.
