Rybakina into Wimbledon last-eight after rival quits in tears

SPORTS 10.07.2023

Defending champion Elena Rybakina made the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Monday after opponent Beatriz Haddad Maia quit in tears with injury after just five games.

Text size:

Rybakina was 3-1 up when Brazilian world number 13 Haddad Maia took a medical timeout on Centre Court to treat a lower back injury.

She limped back to the court but was reduced to walking pace and was in tears as she saw out the fifth game before retiring.

World number three Rybakina will face either two-time champion Petra Kvitova or 2022 runner-up Ons Jabeur for a place in the semi-finals.
