In a disappointing turn of events, Elena Rybakina, the fourth seed at the French Open, has been forced to withdraw from the tournament just ahead of her highly anticipated third-round match against Sara Sorribes Tormo. The Roland Garros tournament has lost one of its main contenders for the women's title as a result.
Rybakina, who recently clinched the Rome title in the lead-up to the clay court Grand Slam, revealed that she had been feeling unwell for the past two days, which prompted her decision to withdraw. Speaking at a news conference, she explained, "I was not feeling good yesterday and the day before, so I didn't sleep two nights and had some fever."
