Karolina Pliskova gives up the Ostrava tournament

World No.3 Karolina Pliskova announced on Friday that she was withdrawing from the Ostrava tournament next week due to a wrist injury that will take her away from the circuit for three weeks. The Czech player was to be the No. 1 seed in this tournament. It is the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (world n ° 4), who will therefore be the best ranked in Ostrava.

« Her wrist pain appeared before even the US Open, and she could not be adequately treated as she progressed through the tournament.Radek Kebrle, his doctor, said in a statement. As the problem worsened, we agreed to a three week break from the tournaments. »
