Iga Swiatek explained: It prevents me from competing at the highest level
Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek, world number 1 in women’s singles, announced that she will not be able to participate in the Miami Open Masters Tournament in the United States due to her injury.
Swiatek, the last champion of the tournament, made a statement about his state of health on social media: “I was fighting a heavy infection in Doha. I was ready to play now, but the severe cough caused a rib injury. I wanted to get this situation under control and continue playing as long as there was no risk. But unfortunately I feel a lot of discomfort and pain in my ribs. This prevents me from competing at the highest level. I need time to get over my injury. That’s why I decided not to play in the Miami Open and the Billie Jean King Cup.” He used his statements.
Meanwhile, the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) announced that Austrian Julia Grabher, who failed to qualify for Swiatek, was included in the tournament as the lucky loser.
The Miami Open Masters Tournament, which began with first round matches, will run through April 2. (AA)
