Story summary

Iga Swiatek, a six-time major winner, withdrew from the Ningbo Open in China due to an injured left thigh on October 20, 2026. She cited ongoing issues with her thigh over recent weeks and felt that rest was necessary for recovery. This decision diminishes her chances of qualifying for the season-ending WTA Finals at Indian Wells starting November 8. Initially, Swiatek lost to Maja Chwalinska in the semifinals at the Wuhan Open last week, showing signs of struggling with the thigh injury during that match.
