Swiatek in doubt for Australian Open with injury after Adelaide withdrawal

Iga Swiatek withdrew from the Adelaide International 2 event due to an injury leaving her Australian Open participation in doubt.

Swiatek last competed in the United Cup helping Poland reach the semi-final. She lost to Jessica Pegula in straight sets 2-6 2-6 and now pulled out of Adelaide due to an apparent injury. It's not clear what kind of injury it is but it's believed to be a light one. Even so, the Australian Open participation is in doubt due to the event being only 10 days away.

Caroline Garcia will replace her as the top seed of the event and she'll try to recover in time for the Australian Open. The event already lost ATP number one Carlos Alcaraz to injury so everybody is hoping that this doesn't happen.
