PARIS (AP)—French Open champion Li Na retired with a sore back against
Tsvetana Pironkova in the second set of her opening match Tuesday at the Open
GDF Suez.

Third-seeded Li took a medical timeout while trailing 7-6 (5), 3-2 to have
her lower back massaged and played a few more points before retiring.

“It was so painful,” Li said. “That’s why I called the physio to come to
the court. I tried to tape and then tried to play the point, but it didn’t
work. I’ll go to the hospital to take an MRI to see what happened.”

Li rallied from a 5-0 deficit to force a tiebreaker but she double-faulted at
3-2 to give Pironkova a mini-break. The unseeded Bulgarian won the first set
on a forehand error from Li before taking a 3-1 lead in the second.
