(Indian Wells) The Czech world No.2 Barbora Krejcikova has announced that she will withdraw from the Indian Wells tournament organized this week due to arm pain.
Posted at 9:43 a.m.
“I was really looking forward to playing Indian Wells, but unfortunately it’s not going to be possible this year”, said Tuesday evening the one who was seeded N.1, “extremely disappointed” with the situation.
“I had intermittent pain in one arm since Doha, which intensified last night,” she describes. And, together with my team, I had to make the very difficult decision to withdraw. »
France’s Alizé Cornet will take Krejcikova’s place in Wednesday’s main draw in the California desert.
Krejcikova’s withdrawal comes on top of world No.1 Ashleigh Barty’s decision not to take part in the tournament last week.
“I hope to be able to return to the courts as soon as possible”, declared the Czech without announcing the horizon of her return.
