Roberto Bautista-Agut has become the latest player to withdraw from this year's Wimbledon due to testing positive for COVID-19.
The Spaniard who was a recent finalist in Mallorca and was 17th seed was due to face Daniel Galan today after starting his campaign against Attila Balazs with a dominant win.
But he will now take no further part and becomes the third in recent days with Matteo Berrettini and Marin Cilic also testing positive.
It puts Wimbledon under increasing pressure with also comments recalled by Alize Cornet about tennis testing in general with players having a pact at Roland Garros not to test and play on.

A third men’s seed out of #Wimbledon due to symptomatic Covid, this time the recent Mallorca finalist Roberto Bautista Agut.
