World number two Iga Swiatek announced on social media on Wednesday that she has withdrawn from the upcoming Billie Jean King Cup qualifying tournament in Poland.

The 23-year-old said she needed more time to focus on herself and would not be playing for the national team against Switzerland and Ukraine on April 10-12 in Radom.

“I know that this is not the information that fans, especially Polish ones, wanted, nevertheless, it is the right decision for me for now,” she said.

“Now it’s time for more balance, focusing on myself and my training. I keep my fingers crossed for the girls and the whole team.”

The five-time Grand Slam champion was recently eliminated from the Miami Open in the quarterfinals by 19-year-old Alexandra Eala from the Philippines.

Swiatek was playing the match with added security after being verbally abused by a spectator during an earlier practice session.
