Tan withdraws from doubles

A day after eliminating Serena Williams from Wimbledon in her debut at the grass-court Grand Slam, Harmony Tan surprised and angered her doubles partner by withdrawing from that tournament Wednesday with a thigh injury. Tan, from France, who is ranked 115th, beat the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7) on Centre Court on Tuesday. She was scheduled to team with Tamara Korpatsch for their opening doubles match on Wednesday. “She just texted this morning. Let me wait here 1 hour before the match start,” Korpatsch wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m very sad, disappointed and also very angry that I can’t play my 1st Doubles Grand Slam. And it’s really not fair for me ... I didn’t deserve that.” Tan is scheduled to play No. 32 Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain in the second round of the singles tournament Thursday.
