The Pole will lose her opponent, who was supposed to start the tournament from the first round. She announced her withdrawal from the event on social media. – This sucks – she wrote on Instagram.
American Taylor Townsend (75th WTA ) cannot be satisfied with this season. She did not advance to the finals in any of the tournaments (she took part in ten). She reached the 1/8 finals of tournaments three times in Adelaide, Austin and Charleston. At this stage, she lost in these events to Ukrainian Marta Kostjuk (20th WTA) 3:6, 6:2, 4:6, Chinese Yue Yuan (36th WTA) 3:6, 6:7(7) and Belarusian Victoria Azarenka (21st WTA) 7(5):6, 3:6, 4:6.
