Beatriz
Haddad Maia withdrew from the Guadalajara Open due to an unfortunate accident
at the hotel where she was staying.
The
Brazilian tennis player was set to make her debut at the Guadalajara Open
against American Danielle Collins on the main court. However, a regrettable
accident at the hotel prevented her from participating, and she has been forced
to withdraw from the tournament.
The world
No. 18 announced this through her social media channels, explaining that the
door of the shower suddenly opened, causing several cuts on her hands. She was
taken to the hospital to receive stitches.
The
27-year-old tennis player reassured her fans, stating that the injury is not
serious. She expressed her regret at not being able to play in Mexico on this
occasion, as she considers the country special because of its fans and the
conditions at the tournaments.
"Hey
guys I hope all are doing well Unfortunately this is a more "boring"
post, but it is also part of it. Last night, Sunday, at the hotel, getting out
of the shower and opening the shower box the door just popped and I ended up
cutting some parts of my body off," she added.
"I had to go to the hospital here in
Guadalajara to get stitches (between them in both hands) and unfortunately I
will not be able to play here in Mexico (special place for us tennis players
due to all the responsiveness of the people and efforts of the
tournaments)," Haddad Maia wrote on Instagram.

"Besides
the scare I'm fine It could be something much more serious. I will need a few
days now to heal the wounds and be able to be back for the latter part of the
year; and keep fighting for my goals for 2023. I appreciate the affection and
good vibes from everyone. Have a nice week and see you soon," she added.
Her
withdrawal allows American Sacha Vickery to enter the draw as a lucky loser,
facing former Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins.
