Alex De Minaur to play US Open after injury exit from Olympics

Alex De Minaur said Wednesday that he will play in this month's US Open, weeks after withdrawing from the Paris Olympics because of a hip injury.

De Minaur pulled out of his Wimbledon quarterfinal against Novak Djokovic last month after sustaining a cartilage tear in his hip in the fourth round.

"Been working hard trying to recover from my injury," De Minaur, 25, wrote on Instagram.

"It's been very tough missing tournaments and excited to say I'll be playing US open. Thanks to all the support I've gotten, it's definitely helped me through these tough times."

The US Open is set to begin its 144th edition in New York on Aug. 26.
