Although the Australian represented his country at the past Paris 2024 Olympics competing in the doubles category, Alex De Miñaur announced his last-minute withdrawal from singles due to the hip injury he had been carrying since the Wimbledon tournament. During the American tour, the world number 10 continued to withdraw from the tournaments in Canada and Cincinnati.
De Miñaur will return at the US Open 2024
After a promising start of the year for Alex with victories over Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud, or Stefanos Tsitsipas, now the Australian is forced to pause due to these physical problems, which is why he has had to take a break, but he is already thinking about coming back. It is De Miñaur himself who confirms that his plans include returning at this US Open 2024:
"A little update. I have been working hard to recover from my injury. It has been very tough to miss tournaments and I am excited to say that I will play the US Open. Thank you all for the support received, it has definitely helped me in these tough times. There is always light at the end of the tunnel".
Last year, Alex fell in the octaves finals against Daniil Medvedev and, although this year he comes with certain uncertainties due to those hip issues overcome and the lack of matches on this tour, the Australian showed in the first months how dangerous he could be on this surface. His titles this season in Acapulco and 's-Hertogenbosch reaffirm the great moment of the world number 10 in terms of his level. He will not be the only one arriving directly at the last Grand Slam of the year. Novak Djokovic, for example, will not play any previous tournament either, although for different reasons, the Serbian preferred to rest a few weeks after winning the Olympic gold.
