French Open finalist and world number eight Karolina Muchova said on Tuesday, Oct. 24, she would skip the WTA Finals in Cancun starting on Sunday, Oct. 29, because of a wrist injury.
PRAGUE -- "I am heartbroken to announce that I will miss my first WTA Finals in Cancun," the 27-year-old Czech said on Instagram."Together with the team and doctors we tried everything till the last moments to resolve my wrist injury," she said.
"Unfortunately, the time needed for the recovery is longer than we would've hoped for and therefore I had to make this unpleasant decision."She will be replaced in Cancun by Greece's Maria Sakkari who will be making a third consecutive appearance at the WTA Finals. Her best result came in 2022 when she reached the semifinals after posting a perfect 3-0 record in the group stage.
Ninth-ranked Sakkari won the biggest title of her career this season at the WTA 1000 Guadalajara Open.
