Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen withdrew from the Wuhan Open on Monday due to a shoulder injury, just after winning her first WTA title in two years at the China Open on Sunday. Zheng had been competing intensely for over a month and felt physically fatigued as she rose back into the top 30 rankings, having previously dropped to 160 this season because of an elbow injury. French Open champion Mirra Andreeva also pulled out but cited a schedule change rather than injury. Both players were replaced in the Wuhan draw by other qualifiers.

Story summary
Zheng Qinwen, an Olympic gold medalist, withdrew from the Wuhan Open on Monday due to a shoulder injury just one day after winning her first WTA title in two years at the China Open. Zheng celebrated her victory by singing karaoke for the audience. Both she and French Open champion Mirra Andreeva, who lost to Zheng in the China Open final with scores of 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday, decided not to participate in the Wuhan Open despite Andreeva citing a change in schedule rather than an injury. Zheng expressed her fatigue from competing at the U.S. Open, Billie Jean King Cup, and the China Open over the past month and a half. Prior to this comeback, Zheng's ranking had dropped drastically due to an elbow injury, falling from a career-high of No. 4 last year to as low as No. 160 this season. With her recent win at the China Open, she is expected to return into the top 30 in the rankings.
