The two-time Wimbledon champion hopes to be in good health for Wimbledon next week.
Petra Kvitova has withdrawn from this week’s Nature Valley International in Eastbourne, citing an injured hamstring that she injured while winning the title last week at Birmingham.

The Czech defeated Kateryna Bondarenko in round two at Eastbourne for her sixth straight win on grass and said the injury was worse this morning when she woke up.


“I felt my hamstring in the Birmingham final and although I played with tape in my match here yesterday, when I woke up this morning it felt worse. With Wimbledon around the corner I couldn’t take the risk of making it worse by playing today,” wrote Kvitova on social media.
