Zvonareva replaced by Wozniak in Wimbledon field
WIMBLEDON, England -- Vera Zvonareva, who has been bothered by a left wrist injury for months, withdrew from Wimbledon on Monday.
The 19th-ranked Russian also missed the French Open because of the injury. She has not played since retiring while trailing Dinara Safina in the semifinals of the Family Circle Cup in April.
Zvonareva will be replaced by Aleksandra Wozniak. The 19-year-old Canadian lost in the first round at the Australian Open and French Open this year.
Anastasia Myskina, the 2004 French Open champion, previously had withdrawn, along with Zheng Jie and Romina Oprandi.
On the men's side, Gaston Gaudio, Xavier Malisse, Jurgen Melzer, Paradorn Srichaphan and Jose Acasuso have withdrawn.
Wimbledon starts next Monday.
