The polish said on Wednesday that she would miss the Miami Open because of an injury in the rib.
Iga was scheduled to start in Miami on Thursday from the round of 64 against Claire Liu, but it will not be possible, and Julia Grabher will replace the WTA rankings leader.
The polish tennis star (21) was ill, and a harsh cough was the reason for this injury.
“We were analyzing the data in the last days, and my doctor prepared my diagnosis.” Iga used Twitter to tell us that she will withdraw from Miami Open.
