Fatigue a factor as top seeds continue to fall in Wuhan

WUHAN, Hubei - Agnieszka Radwanska on Wednesday warned the world's top female players are exhausted after a long season and said it was little wonder most of the seeds have tumbled out at the Wuhan Open.

Radwanska, the ninth seed, crashed out of the hot and sticky tournament at the hands of Australia's Ashleigh Barty after struggling to overcome a virus that forced her out of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo last week.

She joined the exodus of early exits by Wuhan favorites, including second-seeded Romanian Simona Halep and fourth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark.
