Holder Elena Rybakina was given an easy ride into the Wimbledon quarter-finals after Brazilian opponent Beatriz Haddad Maia retired midway through the first set with a back injury and will next face Ons Jabeur in a repeat of last year's showpiece match.
Rybakina had just broken for a 3-1 lead in the first set when the Brazilian 13th seed winced in pain and clutched her back after netting a backhand in Monday's clash.After leaving Centre Court, where she was playing for the first time in her career, to receive further treatment, she limped back in an attempt to resume the match following a 10-minute interval.
The 27-year-old Brazilian tearfully went through the motions for one more game, grabbing her back after every point as she struggled to move around or make contact with the ball. After a quick exchange with her team in the players' box, the 27-year-old shook her head to confirm she could no longer continue and gingerly walked up to Rybakina to share an embrace with the score at 4-1.
