Just been informed here that Jennifer Brady has withdrawn from the US Open. A boost for Emma Raducanu who will now play lucky loser Stefanie Voegele in the first round tomorrow #USOpen
Two late withdrawals have occurred in the women's draw for the 2021 US Open with Jennifer Brady and Jelena Ostapenko out of the draw before play began this evening.
Brady who has battled injury for some time is out due to a knee injury. This in particular benefits Emma Raducanu who will now face Stefanie Voegele in the first round.
Ostapenko is due to undisclosed medical reasons with Bianca Andreescu who was slated to potentially face her in the third round now having a potentially easier draw. She is replaced by Greet Minnen.
