Spate of withdrawals takes the sheen off Chennai Open

WTA Chennai Open returns after a three-year break, but faces setbacks with key player withdrawals and a lack of top-30 talent. The tournament also contends with monsoon threats, though organisers remain optimistic. Top seed Zeynep Sonmez aims for victory, while Indian wildcards like Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi and Shrivalli Bhamidipaty seek to impress.
