 So we've got some huge news coming out of the Miami Open with defending champion Egas Fiontech pulling out of the tournament. After it's already started, she's actually pulled out from an injury that she got last week. Let's go over a read of why she's pulled out of this tournament and also out of the Billie Jean King Cup. So this is what Fiontech had to say over on Twitter. You know that in and after Doha I was struggling with a strong infection. I was allowed to play but a strong episode of tough cough led to a rib injury. We were trying to handle it and continue to play as it was safe for me. We were analyzing the data in the last days and my doctor prepared my diagnosis. Unfortunately, I'm still feeling a lot of discomfort and pain and I can't compete. I need to take a break to recover and I have to pull out of the Miami Open and Billie Jean King Cup. I will keep you updated about where I play next because it depends on my process of recovering and the recommendation of my medical team. Are the best medical team behind me? We only need some time to deal with the injury. It's a truly difficult call to not play in Miami and Billie Jean King Cup but health is most important. I'm grateful this is the first health issue in a long time and I was able to compete in perfect shape for so long but that's sports. It happens sometimes without our control. Time to accept and get well as soon as possible. So you have it. Igor Fiontech out of Miami due to a rib problem caused by coughing from an infection. She had a couple of weeks before the Indian Whilst Tournament last week and she did say in the press conference after losing to her back in the last week that she did have some discomfort and it turned into something a little bit more than just discomfort and a lot worse I guess than just a little bit annoying pain I guess and she's out and it begs the question who's going to win Miami now that the defending champion is not there and also when are we going to see Shfiontech? Obviously on the clay court season is coming up next and we're going to see her in Stuttgart where she is the defending champion which is happening in a couple weeks time but she won't be playing in Miami. Huge news. Let me know down in the comments below when will she be back and also who's going to win Miami now that the defending champion is not playing? Igor Fiontech out with a rib injury caused by an infection she got a few weeks ago.
