Elena Rybakina Withdraws from Wuhan Open Due to Injury
Elena Rybakina, the current World No. 1 in women's tennis, has officially withdrawn from the upcoming Wuhan Open due to a foot injury. The tournament announced her withdrawal on social media, wishing her a quick recovery.
Rybakina, 27, expressed her disappointment to fans, stating, “I’m very sorry to the fans who were looking forward to seeing me play. I’ll take some time to rest and recover.” This decision follows her recent performance at the China Open in Beijing, where she lost in the second round to 118th-ranked Alina Charaeva.
After that match, Rybakina mentioned experiencing difficulties with her foot. This was her first match since winning the US Open the previous month and achieving the top ranking in women's tennis.
