Ons Jabeur has withdrawn from the US Open due to a persistent shoulder injury, marking another setback in her injury-plagued season. The 2022 finalist has also missed other key tournaments, including the Paris Olympics, the Citi Open, and the Cincinnati Open. Jabeur was defeated by Naomi Osaka in her most recent match in Toronto. Elise Mertens will take Jabeur's place as the 33rd seed, and her previous position in the draw will be filled by a qualifier or lucky loser. The US Open organizers announced the news on social media, wishing Jabeur a speedy recovery.
