Safin misses US Open with injury
Fifth seed Marat Safin has been forced to pull out of this week's US Open in New York because of a knee injury.

The 25-year-old Russian, who won the Flushing Meadows tournament in 2000, has been bothered by tendinitis in his left knee for most of the summer.

He took six weeks off before returning to action earlier this month at Cincinnati, where he lost to Robby Ginepri in the quarter-finals.

Safin was scheduled to face Alexander Popp of Germany in the first round.
