World No.3 Marin pulled out following an injury she suffered in the Swiss Open.
“Unfortunately I won’t be able to play next week at the All England because of the injury I suffered during the Swiss Open. I’ll be back soon!,” tweeted Marin.
Por desgracia no podré jugar la semana que viene en el All England debido a la lesión durante el Swiss Open. Volveré pronto! 💪
