Petra Kvitova Withdraws From French Open, Injures Ankle During Media

It has not been a good week for the French Open and media availability.

Petra Kvitova, the tournament's No. 11 seed, announced her withdrawal from the French Open on Tuesday in a Tweet where she says she fell and injured her ankle during media availability on Sunday.

"It is with great disappointment that I announce my withdrawal from Roland Garros," Kvitova said in the Tweet. "During my post-match press requirements on Sunday I fell and hurt my ankle. Unfortunately, after an MRI and much discussion with my team, I have made the tough decision that it would be unwise to play on.
