The Paris Olympic gold medalist Zheng Qinwen officially withdrew from 2025 US Open, the organizers of the tournament announced on Monday 21 July.
World No. 6 recently underwent elbow surgery and already had announced a break from the WTA tour. The 22 -year -old Chinese star revealed that she had experienced permanent pain in her right elbow during training and matches, leading her to medical specialists. She then decided on arthroscopic surgery.
Zheng did not compete from its loss of the first round to Katerina Siniakov from Katerina in Wimbledon.
In a report published on Instagram, she assured the Australian Open Runner-up fans to focus on recovery and promise to return as a stronger version of himself.
“After consulting with elbow specialists and a thorough discussion of my team, we decided that arthroscopic surgery was the best choice to fully solve the problem. Yesterday I underwent the procedure successfully and I am grateful for being behind it,” Zheng wrote.
“Now the recovery journey is starting. I will focus on rehabilitation in the next few weeks and months – everything I can to return stronger and healthier.”
“It’s just a short break and I consider it a necessary step towards a better version of myself in court. Thank you all for your lasting support and encouragement. I can’t wait to get back – see you soon!” Zheng added.
