With the just days away, world No.7 pulled out of a key claycourt warmup event in Strasbourg on Wednesday as a precaution after feeling abdominal pain.

The Canadian, who is top seed in the tournament, felt a twinge during her 6-1, 6-4 win against Maryna Zanevska of Belgium on Tuesday.

“I will be pulling out of my next match, because I did feel a little bit of an ab tear, and I don’t want to push it at all for Roland Garros," the 20-year-old said.

“I don’t want to take any risks. Nothing serious though. It’s a little discomfort."
