Czech tennis player Barbora Krejcikova withdrew from the Eastbourne Open tournament on Thursday due to a right thigh injury, raising concerns before her title defense at Wimbledon. Krejcikova conceded the victory by walkover to Varvara Gracheva of France in the quarterfinals at Devonshire Park. The tennis player initially felt pain during Wednesday’s second-round victory over Jodie Burrage of Great Britain. The problem worsened overnight and she will undergo a scan. His first match at Wimbledon is scheduled for Tuesday.
Krejcikova played two tough three-set singles matches against the British wildcards, saving two match points against Harriet Dart and three more against Burrage. Krejcikova defeated Jasmine Paolini in the Wimbledon final last year.I am very sorry to have to withdraw from my quarterfinal match today in Eastbourne, as I have some discomfort in my right thigh. Overnight it did not improve; in fact, it got worse. I think it’s best with Wimbledon in the coming days to simply rest and see what’s going on and sort that out.
