The Dane was trailing 0-1 in the second set when she called for a medical timeout, and later served a pair of double faults before deciding to withdraw.

World number 55 Rogers, who reached the quarter-finals at Roland Garros last year, will face China's Wang Qiang in the round of 16 on Tuesday.

Wang defeated Risa Ozaki of Japan 6-4 3-6 6-3 in her opening round match on Sunday.
