Total bloodbath at the WTA in Singapore

The Asian tour does not start with all possible tennis players. After an intense North American hard court tour with the WTA 1000 events in Canada and Cincinnati, and the final summit at the US Open, many players have decided to take a break before the final stretch of the season, and others need it to recover from their discomforts or injuries. This has significantly affected the WTA 500 in Singapore.

This tournament has marked the beginning of the Asian tour, along with the WTA 250 in Seoul. However, the celebration of the Billie Jean King Cup and the proximity of two mandatory WTA 1000 events like Beijing and Wuhan have led to last-minute withdrawals of players. The most significant and recent one is Amanda Anisimova.

Ten players have withdrawn from WTA Singapore 2026

The American thus confirms the continuation of a difficult year in which she has not won any titles and has dropped from being number three to out of the Top 10, specifically to the eleventh position. But she is not the only one who has withdrawn. Another notable absence has been Jessica Pegula.

If we tally the withdrawals of those players who appeared on the entry list, the number rises to ten. In addition to the two mentioned, Anisimova and Pegula, who have been replaced by Kristina Mladenovic and Talia Gibson, there are also Diana Shnaider (replaced by Viktoria Morvayova), Sorana Cirstea (replaced by Alycia Parks), Anastasia Potapova (replaced by Linda Fruhvirtova), Ekaterina Alexandrova (replaced by Sofia Costoulas), Sara Bejlek (replaced by Tatiana Prozorova), Ann Li (replaced by Aliaksandra Sasnovich), Clara Tauson (replaced by Daria Kasatkina), and Janice Tjen (replaced by Mei Yamaguchi).

Nevertheless, the main seeds and title contenders in Singapore are well-known names like Mirra Andreeva, Alexandra Eala, Elise Mertens, or Maja Chawlinska, among others.
