Australia's Alex de Minaur has withdrawn from the men's singles at the Paris Olympics as he continues to recover from a hip injury that cut short his Wimbledon campaign, the world number six said on Sunday.
De Minaur pulled out of his Wimbledon quarter-final against Novak Djokovic earlier this month after sustaining a cartilage tear in his hip in the fourth round.
"Tried my best to be ready for the singles but body needs a bit more time," he said on Instagram.
The 25-year-old was set to play Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff on Sunday.
The Australian will still take part in the doubles alongside Alexei Popyrin. They will meet fourth-seeded U.S. pair Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram.
