Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka withdraws from the Beijing WTA 1000 tournament due to an injury.

In a disappointing turn of events, the current WTA circuit leader, Aryna Sabalenka, will not be participating in the 2025 China Open. The Belarusian tennis star, who had won the US Open in 2024, making her the first player to retain her US Open title since Serena Williams in 2014, has been forced to withdraw due to an injury sustained during the US Open.

Sabalenka, who was expected to defend her title at the Wuhan tournament, the last WTA 1000 of the 2025 season, which takes place from October 6 to 12, expressed her sadness about missing out on the China Open. However, no further details about her injury were disclosed.

The 2025 China Open, taking place from September 24 to October 5, will be a tournament Sabalenka will have to watch from the sidelines. The tournament, like the Wuhan tournament, is a significant event in the WTA circuit.

In the 2024 China Open, Sabalenka lost in the quarterfinals against Muchova (7-6 [5], 2-6, 6-4). Despite this setback, Sabalenka has shown remarkable resilience and determination, and she plans to focus on her recovery and return to the courts at 100%.

At this time, no information about a replacement for Sabalenka in the 2025 China Open has been announced. Fans and tennis enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting updates on Sabalenka's recovery and her return to the courts.

The absence of Sabalenka from the 2025 China Open is a significant loss for the tournament. Her talent, skill, and competitive spirit have made her a fan favourite, and her absence will undoubtedly be felt. However, the world of tennis is full of surprises, and it will be exciting to see who steps up to fill Sabalenka's shoes in the 2025 China Open.
