Myskina withdraws from Eastbourne June 11, 2004 EASTBOURNE, England (AP) -- French Open champion Anastasia Myskina withdrew Friday from next week's Wimbledon warmup tournament at Eastbourne. Defending champion Chanda Rubin and Russian teenager Maria Sharapova also pulled out of the grass-court event. Myskina, who defeated fellow Russian Elena Dementieva in last weekend's final in Paris, said she was tired after winning her first Grand Slam title. ``I deeply regret missing Eastbourne -- winning a Grand Slam has its consequences, both physical and emotional,'' Myskina said in a statement issued by the Women's Tennis Association. ``I am exhausted from the daily wear and tear and am not prepared to start a tournament this coming week.'' Myskina is ranked No. 3 in the world and is potentially the top-seeded player at Wimbledon, although she has never advanced past the fourth round there. The world's two top-ranked players, Belgians Justine Henin-Hardenne and Kim Clijsters, have withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a viral infection and a wrist injury, respectively. Rubin said she was skipping Eastbourne to allow more time for a knee injury to heal. Sharapova is scheduled to play in Saturday's semifinals at the grass-court DFS Classic in Birmingham, England.
