After reaching the semi-finals of the women’s doubles in Toronto alongside partner Madison Keys, Mirza also played at last week’s Cincinnati Open.
“I just have some not so great news,” the six-times Grand Slam doubles champion wrote on her Instagram story.
“I hurt my forearm/elbow while playing in Canada 2 weeks ago and obviously didn’t realize how bad it was until I got my scans yesterday and unfortunately I have in fact torn a little bit of my tendon.
“I will be out for a (few) weeks and have pulled out of U.S. Open. This isn’t ideal and it’s terrible timing and it will change some of my retirement plans but I will keep you all posted.”
The 2022 U.S. Open will begin on Aug. 29 and will end on Sept. 11.
