The former No. 1 has put out her back

The Serbian ace has managed to stay in the top 30, currently at 26th, but going by her performances so far this year, Jankovic may see a decline in the rankings.

The former World No. 1 has not started 2016 on a particularly strong note, and after a series of early losses on the WTA tour, she only recently saw her highest-ever finish – losing in straight sets to Agnieszka Radwanska in the round of 16 at Indian Wells.

Following the tournament, Jankovic has now revealed she is struggling with a back injury, retiring from her first round match against Polish player Magda Linette only a game in.

Jankovic has not publicly released a statement, so it is as yet unclear whether the injury will affect her participation in the French Open; the Serb has reached the semi-finals of the tournament on three occasions.
