Bencic said she was hampered by the issue
during the WTA Tour's U.S. swing, which included her run to the
Charleston Open final where she lost to Ons Jabeur in straight
sets.
"I have some discomfort on my hip, which I struggled with during
the U.S. swing as well, and need to take a little rest and
recover to be back at 100% for Roland Garros," Switzerland's
Bencic said on Instagram on Wednesday.
"I will miss both tournaments dearly but will be back in a few
weeks and can't wait to be back competing soon and continuing in
great form."
Bencic won the Adelaide International 2 title in January and Abu
Dhabi Open the following month.
The French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year, will be held
from May 28 to June 11, where Iga Swiatek will be the women's
singles defending champion.
