Italian Open Tennis: Roger Federer out of quarters with a leg injury

In tennis, the world number three Roger Federer pulled out of the Italian Open Tennis before his quarter-final match with a right leg injury.

Roger Federer, a four-time finalist at the Italian Open, had been due to meet Greek eighth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas for a place in the semi-finals.
