World No.1 Ash Barty out from French Open due to injury

The Hindu  

Women's world number one Ash Barty of Australia retired from her second round match against Poland's Magda Linette at the French Open on Thursday with an injury. Australia's Barty, who lifted her maiden major at Roland Garros in 2019, was trailing 6-1 2-2 against Poland's Magda Linette when she decided she could no longer continue, having started the match with taping on her left thigh. Romanian world number three Simona Halep, the 2018 champion in Paris, also pulled out from this year's tournament due to a leg injury, meaning fourth-ranked Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus is the highest surviving seed this week. The 25-year-old Barty's return to Roland Garros ended in disappointment after she opted to not defend her title last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
