Azarenka withdraws from Sydney

Monday 12 January 2009 1 Comment »

Victoria Azarenka has withdrawn from the Medibank International Sydney due to a viral illness.

The newly crowned Brisbane International champion informed tournament organisers of her decision today.

She has been replaced in the main draw by Karin Knapp of Italy, who will play wildcard Jarmila Gajdosova in the first round later today.

In women’s singles results, eighth seed Caroline Wozniacki has defeated Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova in convincing fashion 6-1 6-2 early on day two of the tournament.

Australia’s Casey Dellacqua hits centre court later this afternoon when she takes on Italian Sara Errani.

Other top names in action today include Tommy Robredo, Dinara Safina and Elena  Dementieva.

    Quite a surprise, but I’m happy due to Slovakian born Aussie Jarmila Gajdosova’s win over Karin Knapp (6-4 6-2)

    Good luck to Gajdosova for her round 2 match against the 2008 Bejing Olympics Gold Medelist and third seed Elena Dementieva.
