Beijing: Six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek said Monday she might skip mandatory tournaments to protect her health after a string of injuries among players at the China Open.
The world number two from Poland reached the last 16 in Beijing after her Colombian opponent Camila Osorio retired hurt before their second set.
The amount of matches in the tennis calendar has been a major talking point in recent years, with players such as Novak Djokovic cutting back the number of tournaments they compete in as they near the end of their careers.
"I don't know yet how my career is going to look like in a couple of years," the 24-year-old Swiatek said.
"Maybe I will have to choose some tournaments and skip them, even though they are mandatory," she added.
