Venus Williams will not play the 2012 Australia Open

The former world Nr.1 has been receiving treatment for an immune system disease (Sjogren’s syndrome)

‘After several months of training and treatment, I am making steady progress to top competitive form,’ she said on her website.

‘My diet and fitness regimen have allowed me to make great strides in terms of my health and I am very close to being ready to return to WTA competition. I have every intention to return to the circuit in February.’

 

We are eager to see you back! Good Luck!
