Iga Świątek ends the season. She will not go to the WTA Finals even as a reserve.
Iga Świątek announced her withdrawal from the remainder of the season due to health concerns after a challenging year. She expressed the need for rest and recovery following a series of injuries and disappointing performances in major tournaments. Despite her struggles, she remains optimistic about her future and is determined to return with renewed passion and motivation. Maja Chwalińska's recent victory in Wuhan highlights the potential of the next generation of players, contrasting with Świątek's difficult season, where she did not win any Grand Slam titles for the first time in five years.
