Llodra becomes 11th Wimbledon pullout

France’s Michael Llodra retired from his second round Wimbledon match with Italian 23rd seed Andreas Seppi today, taking the total of pullouts to 11 at the tournament.

Llodra had just dropped the first set 7-5 to Seppi when he called the doctor on to Court 14.

But he opted not to carry on allowing Seppi to book a third round clash against either Japan’s Kei Nishikori or Leonardo Mayer of Argentina.

Llodra’s pullout followed the Wimbledon record of seven on Wednesday.
