Borna Coric withdrew from the US Open on Wednesday ahead of the 12th seed’s second-round match against Grigor Dimitrov due to a lower back strain, the tournament organisers said.
The Croatian world number 12 eased to a straight sets win over qualifier Evgeny Donskoy in the first round on Monday but his back problem has been an issue recently, having also forced him to withdraw prior to this year’s Wimbledon.
Bulgarian Dimitrov will get a walk over to the third round where he will face either Pablo Cuevas or Kamil Majchrzak, who hoped to play their second-round match on Wednesday despite rainy weather at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
