Iga Swiatek was originally scheduled to play her third and final group match against Jessica Pegula. But the American suffered a knee injury and withdrew.
The Pole, who lost her match against Coco Gauff yesterday, will play tomorrow to secure her place in the semi-finals.

Instead of facing Pegula (who was already eliminated with two defeats), she will be up against Daria Kasatkina, the first Masters alternate.
Swiatek leads 5-1 in head-to-head meetings with the Russian, but their last duel dates back to the 2022 WTA Finals, when they met in the group phase.
