India's Sania Mirza retired hurt from her first-round Olympic Games clash against Iveta Benesova of the Czech Republic on Monday.
Mirza, who only returned to the Tour in June after a three-month absence following surgery on her right wrist, was down 6-1, 2-1 when she pulled out.
"I've been feeling constant pain for the last two weeks," she said. "I've been on pain killers for the last six days. I took four this morning.
"It's unfortunate timing, it's very bad but there's nothing I can do."
The world number 26 said she would try to play the doubles tournament with partner Sunitha Rao.
