Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina pulls out of French Open due to illness

Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina pulled out of the French Open ahead of her third-round match because of illness.

The fourth seed was one of the favourites for the title having enjoyed a brilliant season and won the Italian Open in Rome last month.

She won both her first two matches comfortably against teenagers Brenda Fruhvirtova and Linda Noskova but withdrew minutes before she was due to take to Philippe Chatrier to face Sara Sorribes Tormo.
