Zvonareva Pulls Out of Wimbledon

An ankle injury forced Vera Zvonareva to withdraw from Wimbledon before her third-round match against France’s Virginie Razzano today.  Ironically, the seventh-seeded Russian was sidelined for two months after injuring her ankle while playing against Razzano in April. 

Earlier this month, Zvonareva played in the grass-court tournament at Eastbourne and didn’t complain about the injury but I’m guessing it was either never fully healed or she reinjured it in London this week.  Either way, it’s really unfortunate.
Razzano will battle against whomever wins the match between France’s Marion Bartoli and Italy’s Francesca Schiavone.
