Magdalena Fręch got a second chance. Now he can meet Iga Świątek

Magdalena Fręch, a tennis player from Łódź, despite Sunday's defeat in the last round of qualifying, has not said her last word yet. The loss to the Japanese Aoi Ito 6:7 (3-7), 4:6 did not eliminate her chances of playing in the main tournament.

All thanks to the withdrawal of the injured Ukrainian Oleksandra Olijnykova. Thanks to this, Fręch found herself in the main ladder as the so-called "lucky loser". On Monday, she will face Thai Mananchaya Sawangkaew. If she wins, Iga Świątek will be waiting for her in the second round.

Świątek with a "free fate" and a chance for a Polish duel

Iga Świątek, seeded seventh in Wuhan, goes through the first round without playing. This means that her first rival will be the winner of the Fręch - Sawangkaew match.

Polish fans are already rubbing their hands against a possible, exciting duel between two representatives of our country.

Maja Chwalińska and Magda Linette – different moods

In the main tournament we will also see Maja Chwalińska, who will face Egyptian Mayar Sherif in the first round.

Unfortunately, Magda Linette was less lucky. The Poznań native was eliminated in the first round of qualifying, losing to Austrian Sinja Kraus 6:7 (3-7), 2:6.

Stars absent, Sabalenka in the lead

Some big names will be missing from Wuhan. The leader of the world ranking, Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan, and the winner from last year, American Coco Gauff, will not appear on the courts.

The highest seeded player was Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus, who may be Świątek's potential rival in the quarterfinals. However, both teams must win two matches for this clash to take place.
