Two-time champion Petra Kvitova said she had burnt herself out waiting around to get on court after she crashed out of Wimbledon on Saturday in the last second round match to be completed.
The Czech, who won the title in 2011 and 2014, was left in limbo over six days due to continual rain delays, spending just two hours and 46 minutes on court in that time.
In an error-strewn match, she lost 7-5, 7-6 (5) on Saturday to Russia's Ekaterina Makarova, who will face Barbora Strycova for a place in the last 16.
