The Russian tennis player Elena Dementieva has pulled out of next week's Wimbledon grand slam tournament because of a calf injury.
The world number five suffered the injury during the French Open, forcing her to retire from her semi-final earlier this month against eventual winner Francesca Schiavone.
The Olympic champion would have been a legitimate title contender at the grass-court major after reaching the semi-finals at the All England Club last year.
Dementieva, who has yet to win a grand slam title, did not say when she planned to return to the Tour. Initially, she said the injury could take up to six or seven weeks to heal.
