Petra Kvitova has pulled out of the grasscourt tournament in Eastbourne because of an abdominal injury, a day after winning her first title since her playing hand was injured in a knife attack.
Organisers of the Aegon International confirmed Kvitova's withdrawal on Monday, a week before the start of Wimbledon. She won the Wimbledon title in 2011 and 2014.
Kvitova won the grasscourt Aegon Classic in Birmingham on Sunday by beating Australian Ashleigh Barty 4-6 6-3 6-3 in the final.
Despite the loss, Barty will achieve a career-high world ranking of 54 after reaching the final.
For Kvitova, it was only her second tournament since she was attacked at her home in December.
