Johanna Konta has withdrawn from this week’s Volvo Car Open in Charleston, citing sickness.
The British number one captured the biggest title of her career at the Miami Open on Saturday when she beat Caroline Wozniacki in the final.
She had been due to head straight to nearby South Carolina for the WTA claycourt event at which she had been seeded second.
However, Konta announced in a statement on Monday: “I’m very sorry to have to withdraw from Charleston, this is a great tournament and I was really looking forward to taking part.
“I was battling a slight shoulder injury and sickness during Miami which has taken hold since the end of the tournament.”
Konta is next expected to be in action when Great Britain travel to Romania for their Fed Cup play-off on April 22-23.
