Berlin: World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka on Thursday pulled out of next week’s Stuttgart Open citing an injury sustained at the Miami Open in March.

The Belarusian wrote on social media that she had failed to recover in time for the clay court tournament, which starts on Monday. “Unfortunately, I suffered an injury after Miami, and even though I tried everything to recover in time, I’m not ready to compete,” Sabalenka said Thursday.
