The 2019 Ladies’ Singles Champion Simona Halep has announced she has withdrawn from this year's Championships with a calf injury.
Halep retired from a second round match against Germany’s Angelique Kerber at the WTA clay court event in Rome in mid-May and hasn’t competed since. She was subsequently forced to miss Roland-Garros, the second Grand Slam of the season.
“It is with great sadness that I’m announcing my withdrawal from The Championships as my calf injury has not fully recovered,” the 29-year-old said.
"I gave it everything I had in order to be ready to play Wimbledon and after having such special memories from two years ago, I was excited and honoured to step back on these beautiful courts as defending champion.
“Unfortunately, my body didn’t cooperate and I’ll have to save that feeling for next year.
“I can honestly say that I'm really down and upset about having to take this decision. This period has been difficult but to miss the last two majors has made it even more challenging mentally and physically.
“We will see what the future holds but I'm hoping it will make me a stronger person and athlete.
“Thank you to everyone at Wimbledon for your understanding and support.”
The draws for the men's and ladies' singles take place at the All England Club at 10am BST on Friday June 25.
