Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova announced Saturday that she has withdrawn from next week’s Italian Open due to a right foot injury.

“Unfortunately my right foot is still causing me pain so, after consulting my team, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from Rome,” Kvitova wrote on Twitter. “I will miss the beautiful site, the Italian fans and wish the tournament a great week. I’ll work hard to be ready for the French Open.”
