Beijing time on April 27 news, WTA world number one Swatek announced that he withdrew from this week's WTA1000 Madrid game due to a right shoulder injury. Previously, Swataker had won 23 consecutive races and won four consecutive races.
In a social media post, Swatek said that it was very unfortunate that he was plagued by a right shoulder injury and had to withdraw from this year's Madrid race. At the same time, Svatek hopes to meet the fans who support her in Madrid next year.
Svatek, who exited Madrid, is likely to make a comeback next week's Rome race. For Svatek, who has been fighting continuously, exiting Madrid is a wise choice. The conditions of the Madrid race are the most different from those of the French Open of any clay tournament.
Swataker's performance this season has been impressive, with she having won 23 consecutive races in all competitions before this week, winning four consecutive races, including three WTA 1000 class races and one WTA 500 race.
After Barty chose to retire, Swatek became the new leader of the WTA, and last month she became the first post-00 world number one in WTA history. Her lead has already exceeded 2,000 points this week, and it's hard to shake her position in the short term.
With Swartec's exit from Madrid, the competition for the race became more open. Seeded players such as Bardoza, Sabalenka, Sakari, Muguruzza and Abdul-Jabbar all have the opportunity to attack the championship.
