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.

Bouchard says she is continuing to train and rehab, and plans on returning to competition later this summer.
