Victoria Azarenka has pulled out of Wimbledon with a knee injury.
The sixth seed and former world No. 1 is out of the tournament, which begins next week.
The two-time Australian Open champion was forced to retire during her first-round match at the French Open and hasn't played since.
The Belarusian has won three titles this year, including two of the biggest outside of the majors, Indian Wells and Miami, in March.
Azarenka has reached the Wimbledon semi-finals twice but this year it isn't to be.
