Marin Cilic, the 2014 US Open champion, has withdrawn from this year's tournament just hours before he was set to compete against No. 23 seed Andrey Rublev. Cilic's withdrawal is attributed to an injury, marking yet another disappointment in a season where he has faced challenges. As a result of Cilic's exit, Otto Virtanen has been granted a lucky loser spot in the main draw without having to participate in the qualifying rounds. This development adds to the unpredictability of the tournament as players adjust to last-minute changes.
