Jelena Ostapenko, former Roland Garros singles and US Open doubles champion, has been forced to withdraw from next week’s ATX Open at Westwood Country Club in Austin. This was going to be her first appearance at the tournament, but injury will prevent her from playing.

“As I said when I committed to play the ATX Open, I love to compete on big stages with loud, enthusiastic crowds. I have been looking very forward to playing in my first ATX Open. I’m sorry that injury will keep me away this year. I’m hopeful that I will be able to make my ATX Open debut this time next year. I wish all my fellow competitors well as they prepare to play in Austin next week.’

Tournament Director Christo Van Rensburg added, “Any time you have a Grand Slam champ like Jelena Ostapenko in the mix, it’s a big opportunity for the ATX Open and our fans. We’re going to miss having her this year. We wish her a very speedy recovery. And it goes without saying we hope to have her playing in front of a big tournament crowd in Austin in 2027.’”
