<p>EASTBOURNE, England (AP) — Barbora Krejcikova is an injury doubt ahead of her Wimbledon title defense after withdrawing from the Eastbourne Open on Thursday due to a right thigh issue.</p>
<p>Krejcikova gave Varvara Gracheva of France a walkover win in the quarterfinals at Devonshire Park.</p>
<p>The Czech initially felt pain on Wednesday during her second-round victory over Jodie Burrage of Britain. The problem worsened overnight and she was going for a scan. Her opening match at Wimbledon is scheduled for Tuesday.</p>
<p>"I'm very sorry to have to withdraw from my quarterfinal today in Eastbourne as I'm having some soreness in my right thigh," Krejcikova said in a statement. "Overnight it just didn't get any better; it actually got worse. I think it's better with Wimbledon in the next couple of days just to rest it and to see what's going on and to resolve that."</p>
<p>Krejcikova played two tough three-set singles against British wild cards on the south coast. The second seed saved two match points against Harriet Dart and three more against Burrage.</p>
<p>Krejcikova beat Jasmine Paolini in the Wimbledon final last year.</p>
