Get well soon Jabbs!

 

Something cannot simultaneously be both “not really surprising” and a “bombshell”.

There's only one way to find out: TF poll!

 

Expected.

Who's replacing her? Rogers?

 

I would imagine so. Rogers will take Ons' spot and Kanepi will probably play a Q/LL now.

 

No big surprise really. She gets two weeks off now so rest up

Bombshell!

Not unexpected..... Ons is a warrior, but she's clearly injured.

Is Madrid cursed? Look at all the top ATP withdrawals.

 

A small tear calf is something serious guys ? Hope she make it to Rome 🙏

 

Yes does anyone know how serious a "small" calf tear can normally be ? HALEP tore her calf in Rome and was out until the summer hardcourt season...

 

That's a pity! Hopefully she'll be able to play Rome. As a result the bottom half of the draw gets even weaker.

 

Poor Ons 😕

 

Walking Bye who suffered a Career-Defining Disgrace in the 2022 Wimby Final and got blown off the court in USO Final withdraws from Madrid...
Get well soon...Godspeed...

 

Not exactly surprising. Hopefully she will be healthy for Rome already and if not then ready for RG.

 

It's a 'bombshell', but I think we kinda expected this tbh. Gutted that she won't be able to defend her title. Hope she's able to recover in time for Rome.

Every fanbase's worst nightmare, not even being able to play a big tournament, especially when defending. Awful. Hope she can return for Rome.

 

Sad but expected, hope she can recover soon.

Wasn't it a 'small' calf tear that kept Halep out for a while back in (I think) 2021?

Think so. Calves are like groin strains. Impossible to play through and take a while to heal.

 

Players are not allowed to withdraw before MD anymore?

Ons and Pliskova should have withdrawn before MD was released.

Pliskova did (that's how Marino entered in)

 

I hate these damn sad faces.. hopefully Ons can be ready for Rome and of course for Paris and beyond. Tennis is just better with Ons doing Ons things. Especially on the clay and grass where her game really does shine.

 

To say this is a bummer would be an understatement...

 

This was a garbage portion of the draw before she pulled out, its like a weak 250 now

 

Such a pity, she played such a good tennis recently. Top 5 tennis tbh.

 

Hmm..sad she can't defend her title here, but health is more important. Get well soon

 

For Kanepi not having Rogers again is good news I think.

 

Ons was apparently in Madrid for the trophy presentation. From the pic she seemed downcast, so I guess the decision was already made by then:

 

Predictable and other seeded players Rybakina and Trevisan could also drop out before Thursday perhaps.

 

for Ons, and her fans (me included!). Hopefully just a micro one.

 

Expected, most important to rest up for RG.

 

Shit :/

 

Expected after how injured she looked in her last match. A speedy recovery.

Sucks she couldn't wd prior to the draw being created. Her section looking meh now. Come on Much/eyebrows!
