HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong's first WTA tennis tournament in more than 20 years suffered a major blow on Sunday with main drawcard Eugenie Bouchard withdrawing on medical advice after suffering from the heat at the U.S. Open.

China's Peng Shuai, who advanced to the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows, was also a late withdrawal after she was forced to abandon her New York clash with Caroline Wozniacki after also suffering from heat-related illness.
