Injured Azarenka retires from Toronto

Last week has been rather good for Vika till the very last day.

The Belarus reached the final in Carlsbad to be badly upset by Sam Stosur in a match where the world no.3 didn’t really play at her best. The reason was rather clear as Vika was dented by an injury to her lower back.

Vika: I am dissappointed I can’t make it 

So the former world no.1 had to retire from Toronto and that was announced with the following statement “I’m so disappointed that I can’t make it to Toronto as I added it to my schedule knowing what an important event it is,

I am sorry to all my Canadian fans and I will work hard to get healthy and back on the courts as soon as possible.”

Vika’s place will be taken by seed no.9 Caroline Wozniacki that will receive a bye to the second round.
