Aryna Sabalenka has withdrawn from Wimbledon! The third seed faced uncertainty as she prepared to open against American Emina Bektas, as a shoulder injury cast doubt on her ability to step on the court on Monday.
Talking to the press at Wimbledon, Sabalenka revealed details about the injury that is preventing her from being physically ready for the grass-court Grand Slam. Last month at Roland Garros, the Belarusian struggled with a stomach issue in her quarterfinal loss to Mirra Andreeva. It took her five to six days to fully recover, but that was not the end of her woes.
