<p>NEW YORK (AP) — Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen withdrew from the U.S. Open on Monday, two days after announcing she had arthroscopic surgery on her right elbow because of "persistent pain."</p>
<p>The sixth-ranked Zheng was coming off a first-round loss at Wimbledon last month.</p>
<p>"Over the past months, I've been dealing with persistent pain in my right elbow during training and matches," the right-handed 22-year-old from China said on social media Saturday. "Despite trying various treatments to manage it, the discomfort never fully went away."</p>
<p>Zheng said she anticipated her recovery would take months, so the exit from the year's last Grand Slam tournament was not a surprise. The U.S. Open begins Aug. 24.</p>
<p>She was replaced in the field by France's Leolia Jeanjean.</p>
