The Czech turned her left ankle and was unable to continue with her fifth-seeded opponent Jasmine Paolini declared the winner with the score at 0-0.

The match on Louis Armstrong Stadium officially lasted just six minutes.

"I hope she recovers soon because it's sad to see her leave the court like this. We didn't really play a match," said French Open and Wimbledon runner-up Paolini.

"It's not good for tennis. I just hope she gets well and we see her back on the courts soon."

Paolini will face Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan for a place in the last 16.
