Iga Swiatek pulls out of China Open 2024, third withdrawal since August

Published

Iga Swiatek has withdrawn from the China Open 2024 citing personal reasons for the announcement mere five days before the WTA 1000 event was to begin. Swiatek won the China Open last year with a straight-set win over Russian Liudmila Samsonova in the final.

The World No. 1 and defending champion at the WTA 100 event was on track to emulate countrywoman Agnieszka Radwanska to win two trophies in Beijing. Radwanska was the winner in 2011 and 2016.

The two-decade-old China Open is to be played between September 25th – October 6th 2024. Serena Williams won the first edition in 2004 and once again in 2013.
