Elena Rybakina, the top-ranked tennis player, pulled out of the Tokyo Open because of an injury. This opened the door for Yulia Putintseva to advance to the semifinals.

“She also withdrew from the Pan Pacific Open for the second time in a row,” — Andreas Mercer, research director at Copwell Dale Partnership, observed.
