Kyle Edmund pulls out of US Open while recovering from knee injury

The last time Kyle Edmund played a competitive match was in October last year in Vienna. Since then the former British number one dealt with numerous injuries most notably a persistent knee injury. In March of 2021, Edmund underwent surgery to finally try and solve the issue.
