Britain’s Katie Swan was forced to retire from her maiden WTA semi-final in Chennai because of illness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Swan was trailing 3-0 to third seed Magda Linette of Poland after 16 minutes of their match when she called for a medical timeout.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After being assessed by medics, Swan was not well enough to resume.<\/span><\/p>\n

The British number six had only finished her quarter-final at 3am on Saturday – a match where she also needed a medical timeout.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I feel bad for Katie,” Linette said afterwards. “She gave everything yesterday and it looks like she has paid the price today.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The world number 67 will face Czech teenager Linda Fruhvirtova in the final after the 17-year-old defeated the 2020 French Open semi-finalist Nadia Podoroska of Argentina 5-7 6-2 6-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Swan’s performance this week has already ensured that she will move inside the world’s top 150 when the new WTA rankings are published. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
