Top-Seeded Kevin Anderson Quits Delray Beach Open

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Top-seeded Kevin Anderson quit his first-round match at the Delray Beach Open on Tuesday because of an injured right shoulder.

Anderson, who won the tournament in 2012, had just dropped the first set to 103rd-ranked American Austin Krajicek in a tiebreaker when he headed to the sideline. He packed his racket bag, shook his opponent's hand, tossed some used wristbands into the crowd and walked off.

Anderson also pulled out of the first tournament of the year in Chennai and retired from his first-round match at the Australian Open last month because of an injured left knee.
