Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has pulled out of Eastbourne with an abdominal injury.

The Czech won the Aegon Classic in Birmingham on Sunday, her second tournament since she was stabbed by an intruder at her home in December.

Victory moved the 27-year-old, who returned to action in May, up to 12th in the world rankings.

Kvitova is one of the favourites for Wimbledon, where she won the title in 2011 and 2014.
