Australian Samantha Stosur was forced to withdraw from her Indian Wells quarter-final match against Angelique Kerber due to injury.
The world No.9 had looked in good form at the tournament and was eying her first semi-final in five months.
"The official reason for Sam Stosur's withdrawal is a right calf injury," the tournament said on its Twitter feed.
Stosur had on Wednesday recorded a rare comeback win in the fourth round, rallying from a set down to beat German youngster Mona Barthel 4-6 6-2 6-3.
The last time Stosur progressed past the quarter-finals of a tournament was in Moscow last October where she lost to Caroline Wozniacki in the title match.
Stosur, seeded No.7 in the event, held a 2-0 career record over Kerber who now receives a walkover into the semi-finals.
