Aryna Sabalenka played many big names on her run to the Wimbledon semifinals this year.<\/p>\n

Sabalenka beat the likes of Emma Raducanu<\/a>, Elise Mertens and Marie Bouzkova to match her best ever result at the grass court major.<\/p>\n

Despite being the top seed and favourite for the title, Sabalenka\u2019s Wimbledon run was ended in the semifinals by Amanda Anisimova<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, it is actually the player Sabalenka<\/a> beat in the first round who has revealed her injury concern that could end her season.<\/p>\n

Sabalenka beat Carson Branstine in the first round of Wimbledon<\/a> this year, the Canadian who is currently ranked at world number 175.<\/p>\n

While many players would shy away from playing the world number one, Branstine actually wanted a rematch with Sabalenka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Branstine has not had that rematch yet, and instead has been competing at lower-level WTA<\/a> 125 tournaments.<\/p>\n

After losing in the first round of the WTA 125 event in Mallorca, Branstine was scheduled to head to Mexico for a tournament.<\/p>\n

However, Branstine actually withdrew from this tournament and she has now explained the reason behind this and admitted that she may not play again in 2025.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), \u201cHi everyone! I pulled out of the 125K in Mexico this week because of some family stuff, I also have a lingering hamstring pull from San Sebastian. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure if I will conclude my tournament season yet, I\u2019m taking everything day by day. Being 100% for BJK [Billie Jean King] Cup is my top priority!\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Billie Jean King Cup team has two big names missing<\/p>\n

Branstine, who was born in California and represented USA until 2017, stated that Canada\u2019s upcoming BJK Cup<\/a> tie is her priority, and she explained in a follow-up social media post why this is so important to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI began representing the leaf officially in 2017, but have always been a proud Canadian,\u201d said Branstine. \u201cI grew up with the Canadian flag hanging above the fireplace in my living room. I grew up knowing that Canada is the most beautiful country on the planet. I grew up with the dream that I would represent Canada on a stage like this. I\u2019m so excited to play my first tie with my gals. I love you @TennisCanada.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the first time that Branstine has been selected to represent the 2023 BJK Cup champions, which has been enabled by both Japan Open champion Leylah Fernandez<\/a> and former US Open<\/a> winner Bianca Andreescu<\/a> missing from the lineup.<\/p>\n

Canadian Open champion Victoria Mboko<\/a> will lead the Canada lineup, which also includes doubles world number six Gabriela Dabrowski, Marina Stakusic, Cadence Brace and Branstine.<\/p>\n

They will play both Denmark and hosts Mexico in Monterrey, as they look to return to the World Group next year.<\/p>\n
