BRUSSELS, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Belgian world number one Justine Henin-Hardenne has withdrawn from the Antwerp Diamond Games due to a respiratory problem, organisers said on Thursday.
"She is not playing, I just learned it from the WTA," tournament organiser Bob Verbeeck said.
Henin-Hardenne had been due to play her opening match against Czech Denisa Chladkova in the second round on Thursday after being given a late start to help her recover from a throat infection.
Defending champion Venus Williams, the third seed, pulled out of the event at the weekend with a knee injury. Henin's withdrawal leaves her second-seeded compatriot Kim Clijsters as the favourite.
