Unfortunately on Saturday August 29, a few hours before the final and two days before her first US Open match, Naomi withdrew due to injury, saying in a statement "I'm so sorry to have to retire because of injury [...] did a strain on the left thigh on Friday in the tie break of the 2nd set and I did not recover as I hoped."
