The withdrawal of Pegula represents a significant blow to the lineup of the Singapore Tennis Open, one of the region's marquee women's tennis events. The American star, currently ranked third on the Women's Tennis Association tour, had been expected to be a major draw for spectators and a strong contender for the title.
Pegula's decision to withdraw comes despite her earlier confirmation to compete in the tournament. The reasons for her withdrawal have not been detailed at this time.
The Singapore Tennis Open, held as a WTA 500 event, attracts elite players from around the world to compete on Southeast Asian courts. The tournament serves as a key fixture in the women's professional tennis calendar and offers substantial ranking points to participants.
Organisers are expected to provide further details regarding the impact of Pegula's withdrawal on the tournament schedule and the subsequent elevation of alternative competitors into the main draw.
