Elena Dementieva just can't get a break in 2010. The Russian, who retired at the French Open in the semifinal against eventual champion Francesca Schiavone, will not be defending her semifinal appearance last year at Wimbledon after pulling out of the tournament.
She suffered a calf injury during that semifinal retirement at the French and it has not healed fast enough for her. She reported the news to her fans on her official website.
Dementieva held a match point against eventual champion Serena Williams last year in the semifinal of Wimbledon. She lost it with the scores of, 6-7, 7-5, 8-6.
