The US Open casualty list shows no sign of ending, with Milos Raonic the latest leading player to pull out of next week’s grand slam.

The Canadian announced his withdrawal on Instagram on Wednesday night, citing a procedure on his left wrist. Raonic revealed he had “portions of the bone that have been causing the discomfort” removed.

The 26-year-old joins Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori in missing the tournament because of injuries. Also sitting out the action at Flushing Meadows are Serena Williams, who is pregnant, and two-time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka, who is dealing with a custody case involving her baby son.

It was announced on Thursday that Rafael Nadal and Karolina Pliskova will be top seeds for the men’s and women’s singles events. The draw will be made on Friday.
