World number two Victoria Azarenka has pulled out of Wimbledon after failing to overcome the knee injury she suffered on Monday.
The two-time semi-finalist fell heavily during her 6-1 6-2 first round win over Maria Joao Koehler of Portugal.
Earlier Steve Darcis, who beat Rafael Nadal in the first round, pulled out with a shoulder problem.
Both John Isner and Radek Stepanek were also forced to retire in the early stages of their second round matches.
