American tennis player Jessica Pegula has withdrawn from the WTA 500 Singapore Open set to start on September 21. Pegula's decision comes after a lackluster performance in her recent US Open semifinal against Aryna Sabalenka, where she appeared low on energy. Observers noted her use of mystery bandages during the tournament, which may have contributed to concerns about her fitness. Despite the withdrawal, Pegula is currently ranked World No. 3 and remains in the running for the WTA Finals in Indian Wells, scheduled for November 8.
