Zheng Qinwen pulls out of the Wuhan Open with a shoulder injury after her China Open win

Zheng Qinwen withdrew from the Wuhan Open on Monday due to a shoulder injury, following her victory at the China Open earlier in the week. This came just a day after her triumph, during which she entertained the crowd with karaoke at the China Open. The Olympic gold medalist and French Open champion Mirra Andreeva also withdrew from the event, citing a change in her schedule.

Zheng's win at Beijing marked a significant comeback after a challenging year marked by an elbow injury that pushed her ranking down to 160. She was a wildcard entry at the Wuhan Open last week and is set to return to the top 30 following her victory. The singles main draw commenced on Monday with two new participants: Anna Bondar taking Andreeva's place and Camila Orosio replacing Zheng.
