Mystery injury to keep Sabalenka from Stuttgart

An undisclosed injury will prevent Aryna Sabalenka from fronting up in Stuttgart as the WTA begins the spring clay season at it’s traditional indoor venue on Monday.

The world No. 1 who lifted the Miami Masters title in March to conclude the so-called “American “Sunshine Double”, said that she would not be competing at the German venue, but revealed few specifics.

“Unfortunately, I suffered an injury after Miami and even though I tried everything to recover in time, I’m not ready to compete,” she said on Instagram

“I always love coming back to Stuttgart. The atmosphere, the fans and the support I feel there are so special to me, and of course, I was really hoping to have another chance to fight for that Porsche.”

Sabalenka has played and lost four finals at the event which awards a Porsche to the champion.
