Injury Updates and Tournament Withdrawals
The Washington Open saw a shift in the draw due to injury. Naomi Osaka advanced to the quarter-finals after her opponent, Ashlyn Krueger, was forced to retire due to an ankle injury while trailing 6-3, 3-1. Osaka is scheduled to face Elisabetta Cocciaretto in her third consecutive quarter-final appearance.
In the men's field, Jack Draper has provided an injury update, confirming his withdrawal from the Washington event citing discomfort in his left arm. Despite the setback, Draper has been granted a wildcard entry into the upcoming Canadian Open. Additionally, Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Montreal tournament but remains on track to compete at the Cincinnati Masters next month.
