Latvia's top women's tennis player, Jelena Ostapenko, was unable to complete her first-round match at the Ningbo WTA 500 tournament in China on Tuesday. The WTA, the Women's Tennis Association, runs the professional women's tour, and the 500 label refers to the tournament's category within it.
Ostapenko was facing Belinda Bencic of Switzerland. The Latvian could not continue the match, so it ended unfinished and she is out of the tournament.
The source does not say why Ostapenko stopped, what the score was at that point, or how the outcome might affect her upcoming schedule. That information has not yet been made public.
