Britain's Johanna Konta was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon on Sunday after being identified as a close contact of a positive coronavirus case, the All England Club announced.
The world No 31, a semi-finalist at the tournament in 2017, was drawn to face Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic in her opener.
Konta's place in the draw will be taken by 123rd-ranked lucky loser Wang Yafan of China.
"The referee's office has advised that Johanna Konta has been withdrawn from the ladies' singles draw, having been classified as a close contact of a positive test for Covid-19," the All England Club said.
"In line with government legislation, Konta is required to spend 10 days in self isolation."
A year after Wimbledon was cancelled because of the pandemic, all players are confined to a central London hotel "bubble" rather than their own homes or in rented accommodation closer to the All England Club.
"In terms of the bubble life, it is very odd," Konta said on Saturday. "It's odd to drive past kind of my home every day on the way to Wimbledon. Kind of half an hour into the journey I'm like, Oh, okay. That is odd.
"It's a small price to pay to be able to be back and playing again here at Wimbledon."
On Saturday, former men's doubles champion Frederik Nielsen was also forced to withdraw after being identified as a close contact.
The Dane, 37, who won the 2012 men's doubles title with Britain's Jonny Marray, had been due to partner Croatia's Franko Skugor at Wimbledon which starts on Monday.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
