Our sources detailed that the world number one and two are currently out and are likely not to be recover just before January 18 when the event is set to begin.

According to report, the 34-year-old made quite an effort to keep the spirit going; in her last moments can testify to that. Yes, she did some training on Tuesday but later dropped out following a nagging knee injury that became obvious when she was broken by Wolfe. After she dropped, she called the trainer to her side and said “I just have some inflammation that’s been going away very slowly,” she explained. “(It needs) a little rest, a little treatment.”

While Russian Sharapova whom we thought would be able to make it for Brisbane where she was supposed to defend her title said: “I hurt my forearm in practice a couple days ago and need to precautionary withdraw with the Australian Open starting soon.”

Whatever be the case, world number one was supposed to be bidding to retain her title in Melbourne but with this development, we can’t just say what fate holds for her; we hope she recovers just in time and do the job.
