Overview
- British No 1 Jack Draper confirmed his withdrawal on social media, saying he must look after his health after trying to compete.
- He was scheduled to face Zizou Bergs in the second round, with the Belgian moving through via walkover.
- Draper had opened with a four-set win over Federico Agustin Gomez, serving conservatively with lower speeds than last year.
- He arrived in New York after more than seven weeks without a match following a diagnosis of bone bruising in his left humerus.
- He plans to rest and rehabilitate ahead of the late-season swing, with ATP Finals qualification in Turin still within reach after a strong year that includes the Indian Wells title.
