Caroline Wozniacki Withdraws From Events With Injured Ankle

Former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki says she is pulling out of clay-court tournaments in Madrid and Rome because of an injured right ankle, putting her status for the French Open in doubt.

Wozniacki sent out a tweet Monday announcing the withdrawals from the two tuneups for Roland Garros, saying she "still needs time to heal."

Earlier in April, she tweeted out a picture of her right foot and lower leg in a cast and wrote: "Rolled my ankle during practice today."

Wozniacki, a two-time U.S. Open runner-up, is ranked 24th and is 8-7 in 2016.
