South Korean tennis player Chung Hyeon has withdrawn from his match against reigning Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic, as his injury-plagued season continued in Canada.
Chung pulled out of his scheduled first round showdown against Djokovic at the Rogers Cup in Toronto on Tuesday (local time) with a back injury.
Chung pulled out of his scheduled first round showdown against Djokovic at the Rogers Cup in Toronto on Tuesday (local time) with a back injury.
Chung, the top-ranked South Korean at No. 23, missed two months earlier this year with an ankle injury. At the Australian Open in January, Chung made a Cinderella run to the final four -- he beat Djokovic in straight sets in the round of 16 -- but retired from the semifinals match against Roger Federer with foot blisters.
Chung has played in two tournaments since his return, reaching the quarterfinals at the BB&T Atlanta Open and then the round of 16 at the Citi Open in Washington over the past two weeks.
The latest injury setback casts doubt on Chung's status for the season's last Grand Slam event, the US Open, which starts on Aug. 27 in New York. Chung already missed the two previous majors: the French Open and Wimbledon. (Yonhap)
