 After a tough couple of days, Lina Rabakina has decided not to play this week at the Tokyo Open. Of course, she had to go through the battle with the WTA decision to give a performance by two players that played well last week in Guadalajara. She unfortunately lost. Her buy is number three and she's pulled out. Let's go see why. So this is what Rabakina had to say in a statement. I'm really sorry to have to withdraw from Tokyo this year. I was really looking forward to playing the event and I love the city. I prioritized my health and fitness and need time to get 100% health. Of course, yesterday she kind of put a social media post out talking about how the WTA was a bit of a joke with the rule change and giving a performance by, of course, performance by being given to players that played well last week, Garcia and Zachary, at the expense of the third seed Rabakina. That's what happened yesterday. You can go check that video out if you want to know more. There it is, Rabakina out of Tokyo this week and you wonder if it's coincidence. Maybe she's, you know, injured or maybe she's prioritizing health. Or maybe it is the WTA's decision to take a buy away from her and give it to a player that's not in the top four seeds, which again rarely happens. I've never seen this rule happen before, but she's pulled out. She has that shoulder problem. So maybe that is the reason why as well. She has over the last probably three to six months being on and off with injury. She's had problems with late night matches as well, where she's put a lot of tennis as well this season. So maybe that's the reason why. And of course, Beijing coming up next week, a huge WTA 1000 event. You want to be able to play well there as opposed to playing well this week, which is only a 500, but let me know down in the comments below. Do you reckon that this is all due to the WTA's decision to take away her buy or do you reckon she's probably going to pull out anyway because of how her season has been going lately. She's had a lot of injuries being taped up a lot with that shoulder for the most part. She also had a back problem towards the start of the year as well.
