BREAKING: Sabalenka withdraws from Wimbledon with injury

Australian Open champion and world number three Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from Wimbledon on Monday due to a shoulder injury, tournament organisers announced.

Sabalenka, a two-time semi-finalist at the All England Club, is replaced in the draw by Russian lucky loser Erika Andreeva, who will face American qualifier Emina Bektas in the first round.

Earlier in June, Sabalenka made it to the last 16 of the French Open.
