Having lost her world #1 ranking to Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic's Olympic dream came to an abrupt end when she withdrew from the Beijing Olympics, due to a nasty thumb injury. According to her, she picked up the injury after coming back from short break after Wimbledon and hasn't been able to practice since.
She joins the ever increasing crock list of player withdrawals from the Olympics - including Ivan Ljubicic, Ivo Karlovic, Lindsay Davenport & Maria Sharapova.
To be honest, I'm a little sceptical about players withdrawing from the Olympics so close to the US Open in a few weeks time. Perhaps they feel the US Open is a bigger event in terms of prestige, money and glamour?
Let's see how much of a "miraculous recovery" each one makes during the US Open? Only time will tell...
