Before the start of the Wuhan Open, another player withdrew for some reason.
On the evening of October 5, New Zealand player Sun Lulu, who is half Chinese, announced that she would withdraw from the Wuhan Open Tennis Championships (referred to as "Wuhan Open") due to a back injury.
Sun Lulu wrote on social platforms: "I am sorry to tell you that I have been suffering from a back injury since the US Open, and despite my best efforts in Beijing, the pain has not completely subsided. After discussing with my team, we decided to withdraw from the tournament and focus on my recovery. ”
Sun Lulu was eliminated in the first round of the China Open tennis tournament on September 28, and after the match, she expressed her expectations for the Wuhan tennis on social platforms, saying, "I hope I can do better in Wuhan and live up to all expectations." ”
The reporter noticed that a few days ago, Sun Lulu was still preparing for training at the Optics Valley International Tennis Center and planned to participate in the martial arts. However, an unhealed injury forced her to retire.
In this regard, netizens said that physical health is the most important, and I wish you a speedy recovery and see you next year.
Currently, Sun Lulu is ranked 40th in the WTA world. During Wimbledon this year, she defeated Zheng Qinwen and attracted a lot of attention.
On October 4, according to the @WTA International Women's Tennis Association, the world No. 1 Swiatek also withdrew from this year's Wuhan Open. Previously, she also announced her withdrawal from the China Open.
Today (October 7), the opening ceremony of the Wuhan Open will be held before the start of the first night match, and Zheng Qinwen will attend.
In the previous China Open match, Zheng Qinwen accidentally slipped and injured his fingers, unfortunately lost the semifinals and missed the China Open final. But she still managed to reach the semi-finals of a WTA1000 tournament for the first time in her career. This result also tied the best record in the history of the China Open women's singles held by Li Na and Wang Qiang.
For the upcoming martial arts, Zheng Qinwen is full of expectations. "It's true that the two matches are too close, so I need to adjust my body in a short period of time and then get my body back to my best and play well at the martial arts," she said. (According to Beijing Youth Daily)
