Maja Chwalinska went on a barnstorming run to reach the Roland Garros final last month.
Chwalinska became only the second qualifier in history to reach the final of a Grand Slam event; following on from Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open.
The Pole defeated Anna Kalinskaya and Diana Shnaider en route to the final stage, before losing to Mirra Andreeva.
Chwalinska went on to compete at Wimbledon, where she was knocked out in the first round by Mananchaya Sawangkaew.
Who would win if Serena Williams played Maja Chwalinska at Wimbledon?
Predict the score!
The Polish star suffered a cruel twist of fate during the match, falling and injuring herself when one point away from victory.
She never truly recovered from the fall and eventually lost 2-6 7-5 6-2.
Chwalinska has now provided tennis fans with an update regarding her physical condition.
Maja Chwalinska withdraws from the Hamburg Open
“Unfortunately, despite the positive progress with my ankle and on the advice of my medical team, I am not yet ready to return to competition,” Chwalinska said in a statement on Wednesday, as reported by reliable journalist Michal Samulski.
“Therefore, I have to withdraw from this year’s MSC Hamburg Ladies Open.”
The Hamburg Open – a WTA 250 event – is set to take place from July 20 to 26.
The tournament is set to feature the likes of Jacqueline Cristian, Emiliana Arango, and Anna Bondar.
Lois Boisson defeated Bondar in last year’s Hamburg final, triumphing 7–5, 6–3.
The Frenchwoman is not scheduled to compete in this year’s event.
Who won the first Hamburg Open Women’s Singles event?
The first Hamburg Open Women’s Singles event was held in 1982.
America’s Lisa Bonder, born in Columbus, Ohio, won the title after beating Czechia’s Renáta Tomanová 6-3, 6-2 in the final.
Since Bonder’s triumph, there have been 13 more Hamburg Open champions, including Conchita Martinez, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Martina Hingis.
Hingis, Venus Williams, Sanchez Vicario, and Steffi Graf are the only players who have won the title on more than one occasion.
Who is currently the best grass-court player on the WTA Tour?
Graf, a 22-time major champion, has won the most Hamburg titles in tournament history.
The German superstar won six consecutive editions of the event from 1987 to 1992.
She defeated Arantxa Sánchez Vicario 7–6, 6–2 to win her sixth and final title.
Sanchez Vicario has won the second-most Hamburg titles in history, capturing three between 1993 and 1996.
Venus Williams and Martina Hingis both won two titles apiece.
