The World No.1 Iga Swiatek and defending champion Jessica Pegula headline the entry list for the Guadalajara Open, a WTA 1000 tournament that begins on September 17.
With this victory, Swiatek's WTA 1000 tournament record has improved to 60-17, with a win percentage of 77.9, only bettered by legendary Serena Williams, who has a victory percentage of 84.1.
Rybakina is now 3-2 versus reigning World No.1 after victories against Swiatek at the Australian Open and Indian Wells earlier this year. This is the 23-year-old's third WTA 1000 semifinal of the season. Swiatek's retirement ends her 14-match win streak at the Foro Italico venue.
In an Instagram story post on Wednesday, the Swiss star stated that she hopes to be "back at 100%" for French Open, the year's second Grand Slam, which begins on May 28.
