World primary Iga Swiatek has withdrawn from the Adelaide International 2 WTA 500 match beginning subsequent week as a consequence of a proper shoulder challenge, casting doubts on her health earlier than the Australian Open later this month.
The three-time Grand Slam champion crashed to a 6-2, 6-2 defeat in opposition to American Jessica Pegula within the United Cup combined groups match in Sydney on Friday and was in tears in Poland’s dugout after the competition.
“Iga Swiatek has withdrawn from Adelaide 2 due to right shoulder injury,” the WTA Insider mentioned in a tweet.
“Number four seed Caroline Garcia takes Swiatek’s top line in the draw and the next player to be seeded, Danielle Collins, moves into Garcia’s vacated spot.”
The Adelaide match will start on Monday. Swiatek will hope to shake off the difficulty in time for the season’s first main which runs from January 16-29.
