Alex de Minaur is set to return from injury later this month at the US Open, the Australian revealed on social media on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old has not competed since Wimbledon in July, when he suffered a hip injury during the closing stages of his fourth-round win against Arthur Fils. De Minaur was forced to withdraw ahead of his quarter-final clash with Novak Djokovic and has since missed the Paris Olympics and ATP Masters 1000 events in Montreal and Cincinnati.
However, De Minaur is ready to compete at the US Open in New York, where the final major of the season starts on 26 August.
"Little update. Been working hard trying to recover from my injury. It’s been very tough missing tournaments and excited to say I’ll be playing US Open," De Minaur wrote on Instagram. "Thanks to all the support I’ve gotten, it’s definitely helped me through these tough times. There’s always light and the end of the tunnel."
De Minaur holds a 36-12 record on the season, highlighted by titles in Acapulco and ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The Australian is currently eighth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin and will be aiming for a good end to the season to boost his chances of qualifying for the Nitto ATP Finals for the first time.
