Pegula Withdraws From WTA 500 Singapore Open

Overview

• Jessica Pegula confirmed her withdrawal Friday, saying she was not recovered after a physically demanding run through the North American hard‑court swing and the US Open.
• With Pegula out the tournament’s top seed spot moved to Mirra Andreeva, altering the draw at the upgraded WTA 500 event in Singapore.
• Tournament lists show a wave of high‑profile exits that has grown to eight named withdrawals, each replaced by alternates or qualifiers and forcing multiple seed adjustments.
• Leylah Fernandez accepted a wildcard into the Singapore draw and will take a place vacated by the withdrawals after a separate visa-related pullout from Sao Paulo made her available.
• The pattern highlights late‑season calendar strain for players who must balance recovery, national commitments and the pull of bigger WTA 1000 tournaments with tangible effects on rankings and players’ preparation plans.
