BRUSSELS, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Elena Dementieva has been forced to pull out of the Antwerp Diamond Games due to a shoulder injury, the Russian third seed said on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old Dementieva had been due to play Slovenian Tina Pisnik in the second round. Her place in the tournament will be taken by Swiss lucky loser Myriam Casanova.
"It's a shame," the world number 10 told the Diamond Games website.
"I was looking forward to playing for the first time in Belgium, but because of this shoulder injury, I would not be able to give my best.
"There would be no point my going on court. It's a shame for the tournament and for the fans, but I will do everything I can to be here next year," she said.
