BERLIN: Angelique Kerber will miss next week’s clay-court Nuremberg Open on the WTA Tour due to a shoulder problem, the German world number two announced on Friday. “I am so sorry, but due to medical Problems at my shoulder I had to withdraw from Nuremberg,” Kerber tweeted. “So sad that I cannot compete in front of my fantastic home crowd.” Kerber consulted a specialist on Wednesday in the wake of her Italian Open exit at the hands of Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard. However, there is no indication that the injury will prevent the Australian Open champion from taking part at Roland Garros later this month.
