Berdych out of Wimbledon

Tomas Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon runner-up, has pulled out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament because of a bad back.

Berdych announced his withdrawal on Twitter, saying he has been “struggling with back pain” for a couple of months. The 19th-ranked Czech lost in the final at the All England Club eight years ago to Rafael Nadal.
