Hat: Elena Rybakina will not be in Wuhan next week. The world's No.1 declared a package due to a problem at the foot, the day after its surprise elimination at China Open.

Kazakh was to participate in Wuhan's WTA 1000 tournament, scheduled for 12-18 October. She finally decided to stand down on the Chinese appointment in order to take some rest and recover.

This announcement comes only a few days after his climax at the US Open and his accession to the world rankings. Rybakina was also the first player to qualify for the WTA Finals.

Rybakina caught up with her physical problem

The 27-year-old has been dragging a problem at the lower leg and foot for several weeks. In particular, this injury forced him to abandon the Cincinnati tournament in quarterfinals against Iga Swiatek in August.

Despite this embarrassment, Rybakina managed to return strong enough to win his third Grand Slam title at the US Open. She then took first place in the world ahead of Aryna Sabalenka.

But his return to China was much more complicated. The Kazakh suffered a huge surprise at the China Open by bowing as soon as it entered the competition against Alina Charaeva, 118th world. She then announced her withdrawal from Wuhan to give herself time to recover.

Rybakina should now return to the competition in Ningbo, where she will try to defend her title. In any case, his package is a new blow for the Wuhan tournament, which loses its head before the start of hostilities.
