The #1-seeded player in the women’s Olympic tennis competition, Ana Ivanovic of Serbia (pictured above at the Olympic Opening Ceremonies), withdrew from the event on Sunday because of a lingering injury to her right hand that has kept her from practicing.
The 20-year-old Ivanovic won the 2008 French Open and finished second in the 2008 Australian Open.
She will be replaced in the Olympic competition by Tzipora Obziler of Israel.
