Tennis fans are buzzing with questions after Iga Swiatek‘s unexpected withdrawal from this week’s Beijing tournament, where she was set to defend her title and 1000 points. The world No. 1’s PR manager has offered some clarity, revealing to Polish media that while Swiatek is sitting out Beijing, she will not be skipping the entire Asian Swing and is set to return at the Wuhan Open.
Swiatek has had a grueling summer, highlighted by her fourth French Open triumph in June and a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics. Her last tournament was the US Open in early September, where she lost to Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals.
