Cilic withraws from Wimbledon

London - Croatian 10th seed Marin Cilic joined the list of Wimbledon's walking wounded on Wednesday when he withdrew with a left knee injury.

Cilic, the runner-up to Andy Murray at Queens last week, was due to face France's Kenny de Schepper for a last-32 place.

Earlier Wednesday, Victoria Azarenka and Steve Darcis withdrew while John Isner and Radek Stepanek both suffered injuries and quit their second round ties.
