Muchova, along with her team and medical advisors, tried every single option that could have allowed her to take part in the tournament. However, the recovery time exceeded their expectations. Thus, Muchova was left with no choice but to make the decision to withdraw. Despite the disappointment, she came forward and thanked her fans for showing her support in the tough times.

“I am heartbroken to announce that I will miss my first WTA Finals in Cancun. Together with the team and doctors we tried everything till the last moments to resolve my wrist injury. Unfortunately, the time needed for the recovery is longer than we would’ve hoped for and therefore I had to make this unpleasant decision. I greatly appreciate the support of all the fans,” wrote Sakkari in her latest Instagram post.

Thus, Muchova’s sudden withdrawal from the tournament opened the doors for Sakkari to take part in her 3rd consecutive WTA Finals. That being said, Sakkari will be going into the tournament with a great chance to win.
