Caroline Wozniacki retires from her outing at the 2018 Istanbul Cup this week. The Danish tennis star was the top seeded player.

Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki is out of the 2018 Istanbul Cup action after suffering an abdominal injury during play. In her quarterfinals match against French tennis player Pauline Parmentier, Wozniacki retired before the start of the third set.

Splitting the quarterfinals match one set a piece, the top seed could not go on.

Wozniacki is a former champion at the WTA Tour event in Istanbul. Winning the 2014 title in women’s singles there, and of course given her fantastic play so far in 2018, she was easily considered the favorite in the tournament. Now, Istanbul could see a new champion with her out of the mix. Parmentier moves on for a chance to keep her run alive. The action in women’s singles at the 2018 Istanbul Cup continues this weekend at the WTA Tour event. Parmentier faces Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu next in the semifinals.

Caroline Wozniacki is no doubt eyeing play at Roland Garros.

Action at the 2018 French Open is right around the corner for Caroline Wozniacki and others. Winning the Australian Open title earlier this year, she has emerged as one of the best in the sport yet again. The title at Melbourne Park was her first career Grand Slam singles win. She has reached the quarterfinals at the French Open twice before. One of those quarterfinals run came on the 2017 WTA Tour. With her and Romanian tennis star Simona Halep trading off the world No. 1 ranking as of late, a strong performance at Roland Garros could do wonders moving forward. While the Danish tennis star’s abdominal injury does not appear to be anything to worry about, stay tuned to see how she bounces back from the incident. Check back for updates on all of the action in women’s singles tennis.
