Iga Swiatek, the current world No. 1, is confident that she will be able to compete in the French Open despite suffering a thigh injury.
On Wednesday, the 21-year-old was forced to withdraw due to an injury from her quarterfinal match against Elena Rybakina at the Italian Open.
"We did an examination with the physio afterwards," said Swiatek.
"It shouldn't be anything serious, so I'm pretty positive that I'll be back soon."
Iga Swiatek, the top-ranked player in the world, is confident that she will be able to compete in the French Open despite having a thigh injury.
In her Italian Open quarterfinal match against Elena Rybakina on Wednesday, the 21-year-old was forced to withdraw due to an injury.
"For sure I feel tired. I think it was the right decision to stop playing because I felt pain when I was stretching, when I did harder movements," she added.
"For me, the most important thing is to play it safe and not exploit my body so much in such difficult conditions, after having to play a few matches in night sessions and after midnight.
"I'm happy right now to have few days off because since [a previous tournament in] Stuttgart I wasn't really able to recover with that tight schedule that we have on the WTA."
On May 28, the French Open at Roland Garros will get underway.
