Swiatek Withdraws From the Ningbo Open with a Left Thigh Injury
The six-time major winner cited a left thigh injury and will miss the chance to secure one of the last WTA Finals spots.
- On Tuesday, Iga Swiatek withdrew from the Ningbo Open in China due to an ongoing left thigh injury, stating, "After careful consideration, I've decided to withdraw from the tournament."
- Swiatek struggled with the injury during her 7-5, 6-1 loss to compatriot Maja Chwalinska at the Wuhan Open semifinals last week, experiencing persistent thigh issues over the past weeks.
- The withdrawal ends Swiatek's direct qualification bid for the WTA Finals, marking the first time the six-time Grand Slam champion will miss the event since 2019.
- Remaining in contention for the final spot are Czech Karolina Muchova and Marta Kostyuk, with Muchova not competing at the Ningbo tournament but still vulnerable to being overtaken.
- Although unable to qualify directly, Swiatek could still attend the WTA Finals starting November 8 in Indian Wells, California as one of two alternates.
