Story summary

Zheng Qinwen, an Olympic gold medalist, withdrew from the Wuhan Open on Monday due to a shoulder injury just one day after winning her first WTA title in two years at the China Open. Zheng celebrated her victory by singing karaoke for the audience. Both she and French Open champion Mirra Andreeva, who lost to Zheng in the China Open final with scores of 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday, decided not to participate in the Wuhan Open despite Andreeva citing a change in schedule rather than an injury. Zheng expressed her fatigue from competing at the U.S. Open, Billie Jean King Cup, and the China Open over the past month and a half. Prior to this comeback, Zheng's ranking had dropped drastically due to an elbow injury, falling from a career-high of No. 4 last year to as low as No. 160 this season. With her recent win at the China Open, she is expected to return into the top 30 in the rankings.
