NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Three-time Grand Slam semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov<\/a> withdrew from the U.S. Open on Tuesday, a little more than a month after he tore a chest muscle and had to quit playing against Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That exit from the All England Club on July 7 \u2014 Dimitrov had taken the opening two sets against Sinner but got hurt in the third \u2014 marked the fifth consecutive Grand Slam tournament<\/a> where the 34-year-old Dimitrov failed to complete a match. It also happened at the Australian Open in January and the French Open in May, plus last year\u2019s Wimbledon and U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

A year ago in New York, Dimitrov stopped while trailing 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 4-1 against Frances Tiafoe in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

Dimitrov was a semifinalist at the U.S. Open in 2019, at the Australian Open in 2017, and at Wimbledon in 2014.<\/p>\n

His highest ranking was No. 3; he is currently No. 21.<\/p>\n

With Dimitrov out of the field, Alejandro Tabilo gets a spot in the men’s singles bracket, which starts play on Aug. 24.<\/p>\n

Brandon Holt is the next player who would move into the draw if another man withdraws. Holt upset Taylor Fritz at Flushing Meadows in 2022 and his mother is two-time U.S. Open champion Tracy Austin.<\/p>\n
