Ivanovic is out

The battle for the women’s singles has been thrown wide open by the
withdrawal of the French Open champion and top seed, Ana Ivanovic.

Ivanovic has a pain at the joint between the thumb and forefinger of her
right hand. She first felt it when she practised after Wimbledon, and it has
been getting worse in the weeks since. She says its refusal to respond to
treatment means she may have to have it immobilised – her Australian doctor
Grant Brent says this may mean a plaster cast – but she says it is too early
for her to think of withdrawing from the US Open which begins a fortnight
from now.

The Olympic women’s singles was already without a clear favourite, after the
withdrawal of Maria Sharapova last month and the retirement of Justine Henin
in May. Now without this week’s world No 1, it seems very much up for grabs,
with the favourites now Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Svetlana Kuznetsova
and the coming week’s new world No 1 Jelena Jankovic.

Ivanovic is replaced in the women's singles draw by Israel's Tzipora Obziler.

奧運頭號種子Ana Ivanovic因為大拇趾與食指間接合處感到不適(俗稱虎口)而退賽。
在溫布頓後的練習就開始感到疼痛，但狀況在這幾週越來越糟。而她現在的傷勢可能需要
石膏固定，但是否退出兩個禮拜後的美網還言之過早。

今年的奧運女單由於Maria Sharapova和今年退休的Justine Henin的缺席已經失色不少。
而現在頭號種子的Ana Ivanovic退出，威廉絲姐妹、Kuznetsova以及即將成為新球后的
Jankovic都更被視為奪牌的大熱門。

以色列的Tzipora Obziler將遞補Ana Ivanovic參賽。
