Three-time Grand Slam semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov has officially withdrawn from the US Open, citing a chest injury that occurred during his match against Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon. This unfortunate event took place on July 7, where Dimitrov had initially taken the first two sets but was forced to retire in the third due to the injury.

This withdrawal marks the fifth consecutive Grand Slam tournament where Dimitrov has been unable to complete a match. His streak of unfortunate exits includes the Australian Open in January, the French Open in May, and both Wimbledon and the US Open last year.

Recent Struggles:

• Wimbledon 2025: Retired against Jannik Sinner after winning the first two sets.
• Australian Open 2025: Failed to complete his match.
• French Open 2025: Another early exit due to injury.

Past Achievements: Dimitrov has had notable success in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching the semifinals at the US Open in 2019, the Australian Open in 2017, and Wimbledon in 2014. His highest career ranking was No. 3, and he is currently ranked No. 21.

Impact on US Open: With Dimitrov's withdrawal, Alejandro Tabilo has secured a spot in the men's singles bracket, which begins on August 24. Brandon Holt is next in line to enter the draw if another player withdraws. Holt is known for his upset over Taylor Fritz at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and is the son of two-time US Open champion Tracy Austin.

Looking Ahead: Dimitrov's recent string of injuries raises concerns about his future in professional tennis. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if he can recover and return to his former glory in upcoming tournaments.
