The player who was supposed to be Alexander Zverev's opponent in the first round of the US Open, Emil Ruusuvuori, has been forced to withdraw before the start of the tournament. As he details on his social media, he arrived in New York to prepare but claims he is not ready to take to the court: "I am not ready to compete. We continue to work hard with the team to get back on court after a difficult period." The Finnish player has been dealing with injuries for months that have prevented him from reaching his best level.
Zverev will make his debut at the US Open against a fellow countryman: Maximilian Marterer, who enters as a Lucky loser after losing in the previous round against Mitchell Krueger
Hi guys, unfortunately I need to withdraw from the US Open. I came here to prepare myself for the last grand slam of the year but I am not yet ready to compete. With the team we are working hard to put myself back on court after a difficult period. Day by day, week by week. pic.twitter.com/hLko7M5ROL
