Johanna Konta pulls out of two events due to groin injury

Britain's

Johanna Konta

has pulled out of upcoming

WTA

events in Chicago and

Indian Wells

because of the

groin injury

that also forced her to skip the

U.S. Open

, British media reported.


Konta withdrew from Wimbledon in June, a day before the Grand Slam got underway, when a member of her team tested positive for COVID-19. She also missed the

Tokyo Olympics

after contracting the virus.

Konta last played at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati last month, where she was knocked out in the opening match by Czech Karolina Muchova.

The Chicago event begins next week, with Indian Wells starting the following week.
