The French player was leading 2-1 against Australia’s Samantha Stosur in the second round of the traditional warm-up event when she suffered a left thigh strain.
“I just felt something on the last point of my first service game and then, during the returning game, I felt that I couldn’t really move that well any more or push off my left leg,” Mauresmo, the 2006 Wimbledon champion, told reporters.
“With this happening at the beginning of the match, I didn’t feel like taking any risks before Wimbledon next week. I am of course disappointed but I felt I had to make the decision to stop it here.”
