Johanna Konta pulls out of two upcoming WTA events due to groin injury

British Johanna Konta withdraws from the upcoming WTA competitions in Chicago and Indian Wells due to a groin injury, which also forced her to miss the US Open, British media report.

Konta withdrew from Wimbledon in June, a day before the Grand Slam got underway, when a member of her team tested positive for COVID-19. She also missed the Tokyo Olympics after contracting the virus.

Konta last played at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati last month, where she was knocked out in the opening match by Czech Karolina Muchova.

The Chicago event begins next week, with Indian Wells starting the following week.
