The massive wave of last-minute withdrawals continues at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026, with two notable absences in the women's draw this time. The Russian Veronika Kudermetova and the American Emma Navarro, both former top-10 players, will not be able to compete at the Caja Mágica. The implications of this are significant as it grants direct entry into the main draw for Taylor Townsend, who had previously received a wild card, freeing it up for another player. Krueger also advances directly to the main draw.

The Gazprom company, key in the financial management of the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, is organizing an exhibition tournament on November 29 and 30 in St. Petersburg. The organizing team presents the event as a way to overcome international isolation and as a key to sports diplomacy. Vera Podguzova, the vice president of the bank working with the Russian Army and a direct relative of Putin, is in charge of the public relations for this exhibition tournament featuring players like Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Bublik, Karen Khachanov, Tallon Griekspoor, Anastasia Potapova, Diana Shnaider, and Veronika Kudermetova, as well as former players at the level of Youzhny or Tipsarevic.

Last-minute withdrawal at the 2026 Australian Open, also quite unexpected. With no debut in 2026 yet, there seems to be a reason: Veronika Kudermetova will not be competing in Melbourne due to physical discomfort, freeing up the last spot within the seeded players (she was set to be the 32nd favorite) and letting Marketa Vondrousova take her place, who now moves into that spot and could face top players in the third round; on the other hand, Veronika Erjavec will replace her in the main draw. Tough blow for the Russian player, absent from the scene since late 2025.

Several weeks have passed since that much-talked-about interview in which Veronika Kudermetova confessed that Holger Rune sent her a message on social media. Now that the storm has passed, the player clarified what really happened: "I was very worried after the interview, and I was stressed for a long time because I found it unpleasant and incorrect. It was a private conversation with Lena Vesnina while they were setting up the cameras before the interview; I never thought it should be included."

The story about Rune was completely off-camera. I even specifically asked them to omit it. Quite provocative. On the other hand, I knew I hadn't said anything wrong. Rune messaged me, and I replied that I was married. We laughed, and that was the end of it. The issue was that it became public; all the media reported it and turned it into this unpleasant situation. Afterward, every time I saw Rune at tournaments, I felt very embarrassed. I really wanted to approach him and apologize," Veronika told Tatar.

After three intense sets, Jasmine Paolini finally emerged victorious in the semifinal of WTA Cincinnati 2025.
