Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova retired from her match in Berlin due to an apparent leg injury, less than two weeks before play commences at the All England Club.
Leading 5-3 in her second-round match against Anna Kalinskaya, Vondrousova slipped behind the baseline and clutched her right leg. The 24-year-old Czech tried to continue after a medical timeout, with her leg heavily strapped, but eventually withdrew after losing two more games.
First-round play at Wimbledon is scheduled to begin on July 1. In other matches, top-seeded Coco Gauff triumphed over Ekaterina Alexandrova, while second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka defeated Daria Kasatkina. Elena Rybakina reached the quarterfinals by beating Veronika Kudermetova, and Ons Jabeur overcame a slow start to beat Linda Noskova. Fourth-seeded Jessica Pegula also advanced, defeating Donna Vekic.
