Pavlyuchenkova was supposed to play the round of 64 against Bernarda Pera later this evening after an early exit at the Canadian Open. The world no. 17 has earlier reached the semi-final of the Western and Southern Open.
The untimely obstacle will be especially disheartening for the Russian given her form of late. Anastasia is playing the best tennis she has ever played, in a season that is undoubtedly her best yet already, winning an Olympic Gold medal in the mixed doubles category with Andrey Rublev and reaching the Roland Garros final.
