 "Eastbourne International: Defending champion Petra Kvitova withdraws from event citing fatigue")
Eastbourne: Defending champion Petra Kvitova withdrew from the Eastbourne International on Tuesday citing fatigue.
No. 9-ranked Kvitova won her 31st WTA singles title on Sunday in Berlin.
The two-time Wimbledon champion was due to start her Eastbourne defense against Jelena Ostapenko, whom she beat in last year’s final. Ostapenko won the 2021 title and the Birmingham trophy on Sunday.
Kvitova followed the exit of Wimbledon titleholder Elena Rybakina on Monday. Rybakina was the top seed but withdrew because of a viral illness, Eastbourne organisers said.
The field was newly led by No 5-ranked Caroline Garcia and included four others in the top 10 this week: Jessica Pegula, Ons Jabeur, Coco Gauff and Barbora Krejcikova.
No 22-ranked Anastasia Potapova also withdrew due to a right shoulder injury. Potapova was a semi-finalist in Birmingham last week.
