Bencic took the first set in a tiebreak 7-6 before Japan’s Osaka, who had also pulled out of the Auckland final earlier this month due to an abdominal injury, withdrew from the contest. “It’s not fantastic and I’m feeling not great, not bad. In the middle somewhere,” Osaka told reporters.“But we were also doing everything we could. I was going to therapy every day and into the night. So the days have been very long for me. Obviously after my last match it got way worse.”
Osaka then called for a physiotherapist during a changeover, and although she initially soldiered on after treatment, she could not continue after the tiebreak.
