She went to the court, but did not play. Rybakina's surprising decision

Rybakina is dealing with a minor injury ahead of the WTA Finals in Indian Wells. The Kazakh player, who won her first Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2022, became WTA number one after winning the US Open this September. In the semifinals, Fernandez will face Uzbekistan's Kamilla Rakhimova. Mia Pohankova, who recently turned 18, is also in the top four after defeating Naomi Osaka and Alicia Parks. She awaits the winner of the match between Alexandra Eala and Diana Shnaider.
