Kei Nishikori and Denis Shapovalov have withdrawn from key tournaments before the US Open.

Starting with Nishikori the Japanese star has withdrawn from Washington just hours before being scheduled to compete.

Nishikori was due to take on Lloyd Harris in the American capital but has withdrawn due to a knee injury that hampered his progress in Atlanta.

Now Nishikori will look to be fully rested for Toronto where he has replaced Denis Shapovalov in the draw.

That’s because Shapovalov has withdrawn from his home tournament in Toronto due to a knee injury that he suffered at Wimbledon.

The Canadian was clearly suffering during his fourth round clash with Roman Safiullin and has now withdrawn from the tournament in Canada.

Both players will hope that both their injuries will be fully healed in time for the US Open which starts on the 28th of August.
