World number one Ashleigh Barty retired with injury from her second-round match against Magda Linette at the French Open.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 2019 champion had strapping on her left thigh and struggled with her movement, losing the first set 6-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Barty, 25, left the court for a medical time-out before retiring at 2-2 in the second set.<\/span><\/p>\n

World number 45 Linette – who had never beaten a top 10 player – faces Tunisian world number 26 Ons Jabeur next.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following <\/span>Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal on Monday<\/span><\/a>, Belarusian third seed Aryna Sabalenka is the highest-ranked player left in the women’s draw.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also on Thursday, Ukrainian fifth seed <\/span>Elina Svitolina<\/strong> enjoyed a more straightforward win as she beat American Ann Li 6-0 6-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

American fourth seed <\/span>Sofia Kenin<\/strong> had a tougher battle in the first set against compatriot Hailey Baptiste but came through to win 7-5 6-3.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barty had managed to come through the first round on Tuesday despite needing lengthy treatment on her left hip during the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

After that win, the Australian admitted she was “not quite 100%” and on Thursday arrived on Court Philippe-Chatrier with strapping on her left thigh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holding back in her movement, presumably to avoid pain, Barty was broken to go 3-1 down and Linette took her chance to strike.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old broke again and went on to claim the first set before Barty called the trainer onto the court and eventually went inside to receive treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a lengthy break, the 25-year-old looked much sharper and held serve twice but must have been suffering as she eventually turned to the umpire to call the match to an end.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
