Qinwen Zheng will not play the Australian Open 2026
A delicate situation for Qinwen Zheng since she decided to step back from the circuit after Wimbledon. An elbow injury had been tormenting her for months until she had no choice but to undergo surgery. Then came the Asian tour, and with it, the rush. She returned in Beijing, won a match, and retired in the next. Since then, silence. Today, the Chinese player has announced that she will also not make it to the 2026 Australian Open, so we are already looking forward to seeing her in the February tour, even if she has to start from a position almost outside the current top 30.

A very long recovery for the Chinese player, although her hasty return in Beijing did not help.
