Raonic out of Cincy with Injured Wrist

Add Milos Raonic to the list of ATP walking wounded as the U.S. Open approaches. The Canadian announced his withdrawal from the Western and Southern Open on Tuesday, saying that his injured left wrist was not fully recovered.

Last week at Montreal Raonic told reporters that he first injured the wrist at Wimbledon during his round of 16 encounter with Alexander Zverev. He said the injury recovered quickly then but that now it is taking longer to work through.The news puts Raonic’s U.S. Open in doubt. He’s not the only one. Stan Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic have already pulled the plug on their season due to injuries. Marin Cilic, Kei Nishikori and Roger Federer pulled out of Cincinnati but hope to be fit for the U.S. Open.
