“Iga Sveontek withdrew from a major tournament in China”, — write: sport.ua
“Due to personal problems, I am forced to withdraw from the ChinaOpen in Beijing. I’m really sorry because I had a great time playing and winning this tournament last year and was looking forward to going back there.
I know that fans can expect great tennis, and I’m sorry that I won’t be able to take part in it this time,” said the Polish tennis player.
It should be noted that the second ranked player in the world, Arina Sobolenko, even if she wins the tournament in Beijing, will not be able to overtake Svyontek in the world ranking.
Last year, Iga beat Lyudmila Samsonova in the final – 6:2, 6:2.
Hope to see you back on court soon, @iga_swiatek 🙏 pic.twitter.com/BmKspkGofd
