Anett Kontaveit has withdrawn from this week's WTA1000 tournament in Madrid, Spain due to an undisclosed illness.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.
