Aleksandra Krunic has withdrawn from the WTA Finals Indian Wells with a knee injury. As a result, Krunic and doubles partner Anna Danilina will not compete at the season-ending event.<\/p>\n
Krunic sustained the injury during the second round of the US Open, where she and Danilina retired against Tatjana Maria and Zeynep Sonmez. The No. 3-seeded team won the opening set 6-1 before Krunic was unable to continue late in the second.<\/p>\n
Danilina and Krunic had qualified for the WTA Finals following a season that included a WTA 1000 title at the Qatar TotalEnergies Open in Doha and runner-up finishes at the Australian Open, BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and Roland Garros.<\/p>\n
The pair were among the early leaders in the Race to the WTA Finals, building their qualification campaign on a strong first half of the season. Krunic is currently No. 4 in the PIF WTA Doubles Rankings.<\/p>\n
Krunic had been scheduled to make her WTA Finals debut. Danilina, who qualified for the event in 2022, was set to make her second appearance.<\/p>\n
The season-ending event will be held Nov. 8-15 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, featuring the top eight singles players and doubles teams on the PIF Race to the WTA Finals Leaderboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aleksandra Krunic has withdrawn from the WTA Finals Indian Wells with a knee injury.
