The latest update from the WTA confirms that Wang Yafan has withdrawn due to injury, and lucky loser Arango will replace her.
As a result, Arango will play against Lamens today, with the winner advancing to face Zheng Qinwen in the second round, thus ending the expected domestic derby debut for Zheng—very disappointing!
According to fans’ online reports, Zheng Qinwen’s match is approximately set for 7 PM on September 27, 2025 (this Saturday). Zheng has just recently recovered from injury and is making her comeback at this tournament. Please don’t withdraw, as many have been eagerly waiting for you! No matter how far you go in this event, we fully support you!
