# Tennis: Czech player Barbora Krejcikova’s defense of her Wimbledon title may hang in the balance after a thigh injury forced her out of the Eastbourne Open in England. She withdrew before her quarterfinal match against Varvara Gracheva of France. Krejcikova is supposed to play her first match at Wimbledon on Tuesday. Twenty-nine-year-old Krejcikova, who clinched her other Grand Slam title in the French Open in 2021, has played just six games this year because of a back injury. The former world number two is now 17th in the rankings.
