World number one Barty retires from French Open with injury

World number one Ashleigh Barty retired with injury from her second-round match against Magda Linette at the French Open.

The 2019 champion had strapping on her left thigh and struggled with her movement, losing the first set 6-1.

Barty, 25, left the court for a medical time-out before retiring at 2-2 in the second set.

World number 45 Linette – who had never beaten a top 10 player – faces Tunisian world number 26 Ons Jabeur next.
