I wanted to give you all an update,\u201d Fonseca wrote on Instagram. \u201cAfter undergoing tests and starting treatment for my abdomen, it became clear to me and my team that I need more time to fully recover so I can compete at a high level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, this means I won\u2019t be able to play in the US Open. It was not an easy decision to make, as it is a very special tournament for me. We\u2019ll keep working hard so I can come back as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fonseca made his main-draw debut at the US Open last year, reaching the second round. He has had mixed results in 2026, but did make his maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal on the red clay of Roland Garros, after stunning Novak Djokovic in a third-round, five-set thriller, then taking out two-time finalist Casper Ruud in the round of 16. <\/p>\n<p>20-year-old Fonseca owns a 19-13 record this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tennis Express \u2022 End of Summer Sale \u2022 Aug 12\u201326<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tennisexpress.com\/pages\/end-of-summer-sale\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer sponsored nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787004011_974_end-of-summer-610x130.jpg\" alt=\"Tennis Express \u2022 End of Summer Sale \u2022 Aug 12\u201326\"\/><\/a>This shared campaign placement updates across current and archived stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"August The Brazilian will miss the US Open after suffering an abdominal injury in Cincinnati.
