Third seed Aryna Sabalenka has pulled out of Wimbledon hours before her first round match with Emina Bektas.

Two-time Australian Open champion Sabalenka revealed on Saturday there was a chance she could withdraw from the third major of 2024 due to an ongoing shoulder problem called teres major, which primarily affects her serve.
