Madison Keys is out of the ATX Open in Austin as a result of a WTA rule is stopping her from competing within the event.

When the entry listing for the WTA 250 event in Austin was launched, the American tennis star’s title was on it.

However since then, Keys claimed back-to-back wins on the Adelaide Worldwide and the Australian Open, which improved her rating from No. 21 to No. 7.

Since world No. 6 Jessica Pegula can be on the event’s entry listing, that meant there have been two top-10 gamers within the participant discipline.

However as a result of one particular rule states that no multiple top-10 participant can compete in a WTA 250-level event, one needed to go from the occasion that begins on February twenty fourth.

And since Pegula already dedicated to the occasion as a top-10 participant, the reigning Australian Open champion fell off the listing. 

Austin event assertion on the Keys state of affairs  

“The success of Madison in Australia, where she played legendary tennis on a world stage, is further proof that the ATX Open is attracting the best talent in the game,” event director Christo van Rensburg mentioned.

“We love Madison and have been anticipating for months the excitement of her playing here in Austin for the first time. While we wish the Top 10 rule didn’t apply to our tournament, we respect the rules of the WTA. 

“That mentioned, Madison’s Grand Slam title and subsequent Prime 10 world rating are each one thing to have fun. We will’t wait to ask Madison once more to future ATX Opens. 

“We stay very excited to welcome Jessica to her first-ever ATX Open subsequent month. She’s desperate to compete in Austin.”

For Keys, it will have been her debut on the Austin event. 

In the meantime, the American pulled out of the WTA 1000 event in Doha as a consequence of a hamstring damage – that event is slated to begin on February ninth.

If the whole lot goes properly, she ought to play her first post-Australian Open event in Dubai, which begins on February sixteenth.
