Her place in the main draw has been taken by world No 64 Katie Boulter.<\/p>\n Holger Rune, Tallon Griekspoor and Jaume Munar all withdrew from the Indian Wells Open, and the trio will also miss the Miami Open.<\/p>\n Rune and Griekspoor were projected to be seeded in Miami based on their current ranking positions.<\/p>\n WTA Rankings: Alex Eala set to break into top 30 after ailing Coco Gauff retiresv<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n How Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have left \u2018scar tissue\u2019 on their biggest rivals<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

Never had anything like this before, never felt anything, a sensation like this before.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then as the match played, it got progressively worse, even when I wasn\u2019t using my arm on shots that I wasn\u2019t even using my left arm for.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was feeling like fireworks at times. Yeah, it was a scary feeling, but yeah, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n The two-time Grand Slam champion confirmed that she would have an MRI scan and declared she \u201cshould be fine\u201d for the Miami Open.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going tomorrow to get an MRI and to see what\u2019s going on,\u201d Gauff said.<\/p>\n \u201cGood news is they don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be like a long-term type of situation, so I should be fine for Miami. Yeah, we\u2019ve just got to figure out exactly what it is and, I guess, how to prevent it in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Indian Wells Open: Daniil Medvedev reveals \u2018toughest part\u2019 about Dubai ordeal<\/a> The post Miami Open withdrawal list: 6 players out, will Coco Gauff play after Indian Wells retirement?<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While the Indian Wells Open is ongoing, six players have already pulled out of the Miami Open, while there is uncertainty over the participation of Coco Gauff.
