Sixth-seeded Robin Soderling withdrew from the U.S. Open because of illness.
The Swede was scheduled to face 618th-ranked qualifier Louk Sorensen in the first round Wednesday. “Lucky loser” Rogerio Dutra da Silva of Brazil took his spot.
His agent said in a statement that Soderling started feeling “really bad” Tuesday night with stomach pain and a headache. A doctor recommended he not play.
Soderling had not played since withdrawing from Montreal with a wrist injury in early August.
The 114th-ranked Dutra da Silva went from losing in qualifying to the second round of a major tournament. In his Grand Slam debut, the 27-year-old advanced when Sorensen withdrew because of cramps with Dutra da Silva leading 6-0, 3-6, 6-4, 1-0.
Soderling had tweeted Aug. 21: “Wrist is feeling better. Travelling to NY tomorrow,”
