German tennis star Kerber announces pregnancy, to miss U.S. Open
The German wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, "I really wanted to play the US Open but eventually I decided that two against one just isn't a fair competition."
British tennis player Johanna Konta withdrew from the semi-finals of the Eastbourne tournament due to an injury, where she was scheduled to play against Czech Karolina Pliskova on Friday.
Konta, World No.7, suffered a fall during her match against Germany's Angelique Kerber, World No.1, and after being treated on the court she managed to win the match 6-3, 6-4.
Pliskova, World No.3, now moves straight to the Eastbourne final, which she is set to play against the winner of the match between British Heather Watson and Danish Caroline Wozniacki, World No.6.
