NEW YORK—Ben Shelton quit during his third-round match at the U.S. Open on Friday because of a left shoulder injury.

The No. 6-seeded Shelton, a two-time major semifinalist, stopped after dropping the fourth set against Adrian Mannarino, forcing a fifth set. The injury was perhaps caused when he landed on his left arm after tracking down a ball in the corner on the final point to win the third set.
