The 20-year-old Brazilian has become the latest top player to exit the Grand Slam tournament, which continues to be depleted by injuries and other withdrawals in the men's singles competition.
Fonseca's departure adds to a growing list of high-profile names missing from the draw, with world number one Jannik Sinner and British prospect Jack Draper also sidelined from the event.
The abdominal injury that forced Fonseca to withdraw represents a significant setback for the rising Brazilian talent as he navigates the professional tennis circuit.
The US Open men's singles field will proceed without several of its expected participants, raising questions about player fitness and preparation heading into the final major championship of the calendar year.
