Holger Rune<\/a> has withdrawn from the Mubadala Citi DC Open<\/a> due to lower back pain. <\/p>\n The Dane was set to compete as the third seed at the hard-court ATP 500 in Washington D.C., but his spot in the draw has been taken by Corentin Moutet<\/a>. Lucky loser Moutet will take on his fellow Frenchman Alexandre Muller<\/a> in the second round. <\/p>\n “Super unlucky,” Rune wrote on social media. “Yesterday in practice my back locked and I am not fit to play today. I tried it before and nothing dramatic, just super bad timing, as I looked very much forward to play tonight in Washington. See you all soon.”<\/p>\n Super unlucky.
