American tennis player Sebastian Korda pulls out of Wimbledon

LONDON: American tennis player Sebastian Korda has pulled out of Wimbledon, scheduled to commence on June 27, as he is dealing with "terrible shin splints" and "beaten up feet". The 21-year-old world No. 46 had made his Wimbledon debut last year and announced his withdrawal late on Monday after his roud-of-32 loss at Eastbourne to Australian John Millman. The young American had a great debut Wimbledon season in 2021, reaching the quarterfinal before bowing out to Karen Khachanov of Russia. He kicked off this grass-court season in Halle, where he lost to Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain the round-of-16. IANS
