Anett Kontaveit has withdrawn from this week's WTA1000 tournament in Madrid, Spain due to an undisclosed illness.
Anett Kontaveit last played in Stuttgart last week and looked pretty solid on clay and was excited to take part in the upcoming WTA 1000 events in Madrid and Rome. However, that won't be happening as she was forced to abandon plans to play due to an undisclosed illness. Her spot in the draw went to Ana Konjuh.
Other absences include world number three Barbora Krejcikova (Czech Republic), who has picked up an elbow niggle, former world number one Angelique Kerber, of Germany, who is also sick, and Elina Svitolina (Ukraine, 29th in the world) who has a back injury, while the 2020 Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin (U.S., 151st in the world) are not competing either.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
