Injured Ruud pulls out of Wimbledon
Norway's Casper Ruud has pulled out of Wimbledon as he is still struggling to recover from a knee injury, his management told local media on Saturday.
The world No. 16 and two-time French Open finalist suffered a shock second-round exit at the claycourt major last month, losing to unseeded Nuno Borges of Portugal.
Afterwards he said he had been struggling with a knee injury for some time and he has not been in action on the men's tour since, withdrawing from the grasscourt event in Mallorca.
"He's back on the court, and things are going well, but it looks like playing best-of-five sets is unfortunately a bit too soon. Gstaad will be next for Casper now," manager Tina Falster told NTB.
Ruud's best showing at Wimbledon is three second-round appearances.
Wimbledon starts on June 30, while the Swiss Open in Gstaad begins on July 14.

Yastremska reaches Nottingham final despite grass allergy
NOTTINGHAM :Dayana Yastremska says she has an allergy to grass but became the first Ukrainian player to reach a WTA Tour final on the surface for 17 years after a 6-4 6-4 defeat of Poland's Magda Linette at the Nottingham Open on Saturday. Yastremska will seek her first WTA title since 2019, when she faces American McCartney Kessler on Sunday. "I really love playing on grass, even though I think I have a bit of an allergy to grass," she said. "I'm very excited, and I was proud of myself. In general everything worked pretty well. I can't wait to play in the finals tomorrow. Finally I won't be playing at 11 am, which I've been doing all week, so I can sleep tomorrow a little bit more!" Kessler, who only recorded her first career grass court win last week, beat Rebecca Sramkova 6-4 6-2.
