Ana Ivanovic was looking forwad to playing in New Haven to prepapre for the US Open but her ankle hasn't yet heal enough so she has withdrawn from the tournament.
"I'm really disappointed to be withdrawing," Ivanovic said. "I'd been looking forward to playing in New Haven ever since I had my wild card request accepted. I've really enjoyed being here the past few days: it's a beautiful city, and feels very European to me."
The Serb hit the practice court last Thursday and realized her ankle was still giving her some problem.
" I practiced for the first time on Thursday, but today when I went on court, I felt that it was getting worse and I was feeling a lot of pain. There is just no way I will be ready for the tournament."
