Australian Open runner-up Qinwen Zheng will skip the United Cup tournament in what she believes will give her the best preparation for the first grand slam of 2025.

China begins its United Cup campaign against Brazil in Perth on Friday, with Zheng's withdrawal leaving world number 175 Gao Xinyu as China's top-ranked woman.
