Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova said she expects to be fit for the grass-court season despite pulling out of the French Open with a left arm injury on Monday.

The Czech, who was seeded sixth at Roland Garros, will be out for "two to three weeks".

"It means no tennis, of course, as it's my left forearm," said the big-hitting left-hander.

"Maybe I can play rightie. Two to three weeks, so I'll do some fitness and everything that I can do to prepare my body for the tennis on the grass."
"I have had pain in my left forearm for a few weeks and last night an MRI confirmed a Grade Two tear which unfortunately could get worse if I play today."
