WTA Masters: already eliminated, Muchova gives up the last match

Czech Karolina Muchova, number 7 in the rankings, canceled her last match at the WTA Masters in Indian Wells due to a gastrointestinal problem.

"Unfortunately, I have to withdraw from today's match due to gastrointestinal problems. This is not how I wanted to end my season, but I have many reasons to be proud and I am already looking forward to next year," Muchova said.

After two defeats in as many matches at the Masters Wra, the Czech had already been eliminated from the tournament which brings together the eight best players of the season every end of the year. On Friday she will be replaced by the Russian Diana Shnaider, eleventh in the world, who will face her compatriot Mirra Andreeva (third), already qualified for the semi-finals thanks to her victories against Elina Svitolina (sixth) and Aryna Sabalenka (second).
