Stan Wawrinka: Three-time Grand Slam champion withdraws from Wimbledon with foot injury

Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka has pulled out of Wimbledon with a foot injury that has also forced him to miss the ongoing French Open.

He has not played on the ATP Tour since his opening-round defeat by Lloyd Harris at March's Qatar Open.

Wimbledon, which begins on 28 June, is the only Grand Slam the Swiss, twice a quarter-finalist there, has not won.

Wawrinka, now ranked 24th in the world, won the Australian Open in 2014 before adding the French Open in 2015 and US Open in 2016.
