Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has withdrawn from Wimbledon.
The 28-year-old posted the news on social media Friday, saying she’ll concentrate on other tournaments, including the U.S. Open and the Australian Open, as she works her way back from a shoulder injury.
Bouchard underwent arthroscopic surgery on her right shoulder last June and said at the time that she tore her subscapularis muscle at the Guadalajara Open in March 2021.
