Ben Shelton seems to still be struggling with his shoulder issues, the same ones that forced him to withdraw in the round of 16 of the US Open and prevented him from playing in the Davis Cup and Laver Cup matches. His absence has now been confirmed for the ATP 500 in Tokyo. With the American out, there will only be two top 10 players in the Japanese tournament: Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz. However, Holger Rune and Casper Ruud will also be present, among others.
