The player had been considered the clear favourite to defend their title, having won the event for the past two years. Their management confirmed they are working with a specialist and will reassess their schedule on a month-by-month basis.

The withdrawal reshuffles the draw significantly and opens the tournament to a wider field of contenders, several of whom had already been in strong form this season.
