Zheng Qinwen Pulls Out of Japan Open After Wuhan Exit

After announcing her exit from the Wuhan Open, Zheng Qinwen added the Japan Open to her list of missed events due to a shoulder injury. The Chinese champion, fresh off a historic China Open win, said the cumulative toll of the US Open, Billie Jean King Cup and the China Open left her body exhausted. Despite the setback, Zheng retains a strong record, having won 13 of her last 14 tour‑level matches. She looks ahead to a November appearance at the Hong Kong WTA 250, one of the season’s final stops.
