New world number one Ana Ivanovic has pulled out of next week's Eastbourne grasscourt tournament with a muscle injury, organisers said on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old Serbian, who took the top world ranking this week and won her first grand slam title at the French Open on Saturday, said she was also feeling the strain of her efforts at Roland Garros.
"I have a problem with my abductor," Ivanovic, a Wimbledon semi-finalist last year, said in a statement.
"I am also mentally exhausted after the French Open -- I am not ready to compete so soon after winning my first Grand Slam. I have taken this decision with some regret and I hope I can finally play in Eastbourne next year."
Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli, Wimbledon runner-up last year and the world number 10, now heads the list of players for the $600,000 Eastbourne event, which starts on Monday.
