Zheng Qinwen is pressing pause on her comeback.
The Olympic gold-medal champion withdrew from the Wuhan Open today.
Zheng, who was sidelined nearly two months and missed the US Open due to elbow surgery, launched her comeback in Beijing, but was forced to retire in the third set of her second-round match vs. Linda Noskova on Sunday.
Zheng will be replaced in the Wuhan Open draw by Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maniero. The main draw will be conducted tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 pm local time.
