Disturbing news about the situation of Iga Świątek. It’s just been announced!
Iga Świątek begins her competition in Madrid, during the WTA 1000 tournament. However, it turns out that the Pole is losing more rivals from the very beginning!
What exactly is the problem? Unfortunately, there are more and more situations in which both male and female tennis players withdraw from the tournament in the capital of Madrid. The situation is so disturbing that we are talking about the final stretch before the Grand Slam Roland Garros.
WTA 1000 Madrid: More tennis players withdraw from the tournament!
It is worth recalling that Świątek won in the capital of Spain in 2024. Clay is the natural environment for the Polish tennis player, so the Pole will certainly be among the favorites for a good result on Spanish courts.
For now, however, the above-mentioned information regarding subsequent resignations is multiplying. The following people withdrew from the women’s tournament in Madrid: Karolina Muchova, Emma Navaroo, Emma Raducanu, Maya Joint and Amanda Anisimova. And this group continues to grow.
Interestingly, the withdrawal of the latter – the American tennis player – meant that in the first round Magdalena Fręch will have the so-called free fate.
Świątek’s opponent in the first match in Madrid will be Daria Kasatkina representing Australia (75th WTA) or one of the qualifiers.
Iga Świątek and all her championship titles
