 "Petkovic to miss out on French Open and Wimbledon")
Germany’s No.1 tennis player Andrea Petkovic ruptured her ligaments and will be sidelined for three months to miss both the French Open and Wimbledon. The 24-year-old world No.12, who’s just making her comeback from a back injury, badly twisted her right ankle during her second round tie against world No.1 Victoria Azarenka Thursday night.

The Grand Slam tournament at Roland Garros starts in Paris May 27, while Wimbledon begins June 25. IANS
