Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky has withdrawn from the US Open due to a lingering hand injury, the world No.24 has said.
Bacsinszky, who will also miss this month's Connecticut Open in New Haven, was carrying a thigh injury during Wimbledon last month but said on Wednesday she had also been troubled by her hand since last year.
"Unfortunately, I was forced to pull out of New Haven and the US Open," Bacsinszky, who reached the French Open semi-finals earlier this year, said on her Instagram account.
"My thigh is now much better, but I still need to undertake a few exams for my hand."
The US Open runs from August 28 to September 10 at Flushing Meadows, New York.
