PARIS: Elena Rybakina, battling a bad case of viral flu, withdrew from Roland Garros. The reigning Wimbledon champion, seeded fourth here, announced her decision not to take the court for her third-round match against Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo at a press conference just before the scheduled start of play.
Rybakina told reporters that her struggle began following her second round match. The Kazakh player couldn't take more than 10 minutes on the court when warming up on Saturday.
