French Open runner-up Maja Chwalinska has been forced to withdraw from the Tokyo Open after failing to recover from a thigh injury picked up at the Wuhan Open, where she claimed her maiden WTA tour title just days ago.
The Polish star arrived in Tokyo ahead of schedule, undergoing physiotherapy and attempting on-court practice sessions. However, she confirmed via Instagram that her body simply isn't ready for competition.
Chwalinska's withdrawal is a bitter blow given the form she carried into Japan. In Wuhan, she dispatched compatriot Iga Swiatek in the semifinals before overcoming Sonay Kartal in the final to lift her first tour-level trophy - a breakthrough result that had propelled her into the Tokyo draw with serious momentum.
It now remains to be seen how long the injury sidelines her and whether it affects the remainder of her season, as Flashscore reports.
