Dutchman Laurens Jan Anjema, the World No.16, has withdrawn from the upcoming Delaware Investments US Open due to an ongoing ankle and foot injury, which also saw him retire during his quarter-final encounter with Colombian Miguel Angel Rodriguez during the recent NetSuite Open.

It means the man from Den Haag will miss his second consecutive PSA World Series competition, having been forced to pull out of August's Hong Kong Open at the last minute - again due to injury.

Anjema's withdrawal means Indian Saurav Ghosal, part of the Gold medal winning team at the recent Asian Games, moves up in the draw to occupy the number eight seed and he will face Egyptian Fares Dessouki, who moves into the main draw as the expense of Anjema, in the first round.

Former World No.1 Karim Darwish, the Egyptian who is currently number ten in the PSA World Rankings, has withdrawn from the upcoming Delaware Investments U.S. Open.

The 33-year-old from Cairo has been forced to miss the tournament at Drexel University after suffering a hamstring injury and as a result Scotsman Alan Clyne moves into the main draw and will face England's Adrian Grant on the opening day of action.
