Alex De Minaur Withdraws from Olympic Singles Due to Hip Injury

The Australian tennis star shifts focus to doubles competition with Alexei Popyrin as he continues recovery.

De Minaur sustained a hip cartilage tear during Wimbledon, forcing him to pull out of the Paris Olympics singles.
He was scheduled to face Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff in the first round.
Despite the setback, De Minaur will compete in the doubles event with partner Alexei Popyrin.
The pair will face fourth-seeded American duo Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram.
This marks De Minaur's second Olympic disappointment after missing Tokyo 2021 due to COVID-19.
