I was SHOCKED to see Serena's name missing from the draw, so I checked out The Ticker.

Serena Williams pulls out of Monterey February 18, 2012 Serena Williams has pulled out of next week's Monterey Open in Mexico with a left ankle injury, organizers stated. Serena has not played since helping lead the United States to victory over Belarus in Fed Cup two weeks ago.

Serena first injured her ankle during the tournament in Brisbane. but did manage to play at the Australian Open, although she was clearly hobbled.

ESPN Deportes reports that she re-injured her ankle in her last practice in Los Angeles prior to Monterey. The tournament's posters feature Serena and 60 percent of the tickets have been sold.

"People in Serena's camp called my daughter Daniela and they said that they didnt' even dare to call Serena after this happened," tournament director Hernan Garza said.

Her next scheduled tournament is in Miami, which begins the third week of March.
