An injured No. 1 seed Ash Barty retired from the French Open in the second round on Thursday.
Barty trailed 45th-ranked Magda Linette of Poland 6-1, 2-2. Barty, the 2019 French Open champion, has been bothered by a left hip injury that flared up last weekend.
She went off court for treatment after the first set, two days after taking a medical timeout in her first-round three-set win.

Barty’s exit means that the world’s top three players are out of the tournament without losing a completed match.
