BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open has announced the withdrawal of professional tennis players Angelique Kerber and Maria Sharapova from the competition due to injuries.

German professional tennis player, former world No. 1 and current world No. 13, Angelique Kerber, has withdrawn due to a leg injury, whilst Russian professional tennis player and fellow former world No.1, Maria Sharapova (current No. 137), has withdrawn due to a shoulder injury.
