Victoria Azarenka withdrew from the Family Circle Cup because of an lingering hamstring injury during her match with qualifier Christina McHale on Wednesady. Azarenka won the first set, 6-2, and was tied at 2-2 in the second set.
"It's not that bad, but I hoped it had gotten better and healed," said Azarenka, who first injured her left hamstring in Marbella, Spain, two weeks ago.
"I've been still feeling pain. I haven't gotten completely out of it, but it just kept getting worse during the match," said Azarenka. "There was no point to play longer. I wouldn't be able to finish."
She'll have less time to spend in Charleston and she was sorry for that.
"It actually doesn't seem like the states to me," she said. "It's more like a little town in Europe. That's how it feels. It's too bad I haven't seen much yet and didn't really enjoy, you know, time here."
Azarenka will continue with rehabilitation, but plans to play in Stuttgart, Germany, in two weeks.
