American John Isner was forced to withdraw from the US Open ahead of his Round 2 match with Holger Rune with a wrist injury.
Isner was in-form in an opening round win against Federico Delbonis on Monday, a match where he never faced break point, but news of his withdrawal came late Wednesday. It's just the third walkover that Isner's given in his career, and first at a Grand Slam.
Teenager Rune, the No.28 seed, advances to Round 3 at the US Open for the first time as a result. He'll face seventh seed Cameron Norrie, who disposed Portuguese veteran Joao Sousa in straight sets on Thursday.
The 19-year-old Dane is playing in his second US Open, and fifth Grand Slam main draw. This spring, he reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros.

- When it comes to screwing-up tests, samples, re-tests and so -- WTA, ITIA and ITF cannot hide the fact they have been covering their collective asses in several cases the past two years. If nothing else, backtracking on their initial decisions and finding a way to explain away reverting to minor penalties is kind of obvious at this point. And keeping top players' "failed" tests secret for weeks/months because they are not 100% positive about those "failed" tests is counterproductive.mandoist07-05-2025

- "Emma Raducanu has no expectations". Ironically, neither do most tennis people. All these basic things she keeps alluding to (re: her 'comeback') should have been addressed a couple years ago.mandoist06-05-2025
