China Open champ Zheng withdraws from Wuhan citing fatigue
Zheng Qinwen says she has had a demanding schedule over the past month, competing in the US Open, the Billie Jean King Cup and the China Open.
Zheng Qinwen, the newly crowned China Open champion, has announced her withdrawal from the Wuhan Open due to fatigue and a right shoulder injury. The 24-year-old, who reached the US Open quarter-finals earlier this year, secured her first WTA 1000-level title by defeating reigning Roland Garros champion Mirra Andreeva in Beijing.
Zheng's withdrawal marks the end of a demanding period, as she had recently played in the US Open, Billie Jean King Cup, and China Open. The Olympic gold medallist and former world number four underwent elbow surgery last year, missing nearly eight months of action and dropping to a low ranking of 160. Despite her recent success, Zheng's body is feeling fatigued after a month and a half of intense matches.
World number one Elena Rybakina, Wuhan champion Coco Gauff, and Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova have also chosen to skip the Wuhan Open, giving way to a list of notable absences at the tournament.
