Illness forces Elena Rybakina to withdraw from French Open.
Reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina withdrew from the French Open due to illness before her third-round match against Sara Sorribes Tormo. Rybakina, who was considered a top contender for the championship, has been running a fever, had difficulty breathing, and didn't sleep well the past two nights. The walkover allows Sorribes Tormo to advance to the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career.
