The official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the China Open confirmed that Aryna Sabalenka wouldn't be participating at this year's edition of the tournament. The confirmation cited a 'minor injury' behind the World No. 1's absence at the prestigious hardcourt event in Beijing.

"Aryna Sabalenka has withdrawn from the 2025 China Open due to a minor injury. We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming her back in Beijing. #2025ChinaOpen," the brief statement read.

The Belarusian herself has remained tight-lipped about the nature and the extent of the injury.

Days before this announcement, Sabalenka successfully defended her women's singles crown at the US Open. The Belarusian locked horns with home favorite Amanda Anisimova in the final at Flushing Meadows and registered a 6-3, 7-6(3) win over the American. As a result, she consolidated her position at the summit of the WTA Tour's singles rankings. She has also qualified for the year-end WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sabalenka did take part in the China Open last year. The Belarusian reached the last eight in Beijing in 2024, but her title hopes were dashed here by the crafty Karolina Muchova, who won the pair's quarterfinal clash 7-6(5), 2-6, 6-4.
