The WTA leader attributed the withdrawal to medical problems: a fever, but also possible food poisoning.
The Italian Bronzetti will benefit from this defeat and will compete in the final of the WTA 250 tournament.
“I’m really devastated, but I have to lose my match today. I had a restless night with a fever and possibly food poisoning.
I can’t perform today and I have to take care of myself. I hope I will feel better soon” – Iga Svyatek.
Kateryna Sinyakova (52 WTA) and Ludmila Samsonova (15 WTA) meet in the other semifinal at this time.
