Bad Homburg (Germany), June 30 (Ians) Top seed Iga Swiatek was on Friday forced to withdraw from her Bad Homburg Open semifinal against Lucia Bronzetti due to GI illness.
“I’m so sorry but I have to pull out of my match today,” Swiatek said in a statement on Twitter.
“I had a restless night because of some fever and possible food poisoning. I’m not able to perform today and I need to take care of myself. I hope I’ll be fine soon. Your support in Bad Homburg was amazing, thank you,” she added.
Swiatek had defeated opponents including Wimbledon semifinalist Tatjana Maria and No.9 seed Anna Blinkova to reach her first grass-court semifinal in Bad Homburg. Having captured her fourth Grand Slam title at Roland Garros last month, she will carry a 10-match winning streak into Wimbledon next week, where she opens up against Zhu Lin.

Adelaide, Jan 11 (Ians) France’s Caroline Garcia advanced to the Adelaide International 2 quarterfinal with a hard-fought 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 win over qualifier Katerina Siniakova in 2 hours and 15 minutes, here on Wednesday.

Tallinn (Estonia), Oct 2 (Ians) After a singles title drought of over a year, Barbora Krejcikova from Czech Republic on Sunday dispatched No 1 seed and homeland hope Anett Kontaveit 6-2, 6-3 at the inaugural Tallinn Open to win her fourth career singles title and her first of the season.
Krejcikova claimed her first three singles titles during a three-month span last year, including a maiden Grand Slam singles title at 2021 Roland Garros. But after triumphing on home soil in Prague last July, she had only made one singles final since, which she lost to Paula Badosa at Sydney in January.
The Czech at last booked a spot in another singles final this week in the Estonian capital of Tallinn, where she faced down crowd favorite Kontaveit, the best-ranked player in Estonia’s history.

Melbourne, Feb 19 (Ians) Russian fourth seed Daniil Medvedev on Friday beat Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach his first Australian Open final. Medvedev was clinical throughout the match and dismantled Tsitsipas in straight sets with the score reading 6-4 6-2 7-5 at the Rod Laver Arena.
This is Medvedev's second Grand Slam final, having made it to the title clash at the 2019 US Open where he lost to Serbia's Novak Djokovic. Medvedev will be facing Djokovic again on Sunday with the latter vying for a ninth Australian Open title. The 25-year-old Russian is looking to become the first Russian male winner in Melbourne since Marat Safin in 2005.
