Venus Williams is officially out (announced via twitter). I don't think anyone will be surprised here...

[MpNelQTU]

Martinez withdrew too

[Numbiydq]

MELBOURNE, Australia - Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams has pulled out of the Australian Open, citing recovery from her viral illness.
"I regret to announce I am withdrawing from the 2012 Australian Open. After several months of training and treatment, I am making steady progress to top competitive form. My diet and fitness regimen have allowed me to make great strides in terms of my health and I am very close to being ready to return to WTA competition. I have every intention to return to the circuit in February."

Williams, a former World No.1, was ranked as high as No.2 in the summer of 2010 before a difficult last year and a half, a period in which she has struggled with injury and illness and competed in only five tournaments (US Open in 2010 and Australian Open, Eastbourne, Wimbledon and US Open in 2011).

With seven Grand Slam titles to her name, Williams' withdrawal means a major contender is sidelined, regardless of her No.100 ranking. Her two best Slams are Wimbledon (five titles, three more finals) and the US Open (two titles, two more finals). She has been to only one final at the Australian Open (2003) and one at the French Open (2002), losing to Serena Williams both times.

.@WTA has confirmed that #Petkovic has withdrawn from the @AustralianOpen w a stress fracture. Get better, @andreapetkovic! #AIS2012

Just read its her lower back and she will be out 6-8 weeks.

[trowUrillioth]

I'd love to see Conor Niland get through.

[JulieSmithdccd]

Kanepi at the same odds as the Woz? And more probable than Sharapova, Zvonereva or Na?

.....and I'm a Kanepi fan!

Win one tune-up and your odds skyrocket I guess!

[AutocadOemM]

I'd throw a bet on Nadal at those odds.

Does anyone know if the AO qualies are streaming in the States on australianopen.com? I can't get them to come up, but I don't know if it's because I'm in the U.S. or a rain delay.

It works fine for me. You could alternatively try their youtube page under the Live tab -- http://www.youtube.com/australianopentv

Tennis Australia's statement re Margaret Court's comments.

Margaret Court has won more grand slam titles than any other player and has been honoured for her achievements in tennis and she is a legend of the sport. We respect her playing record, it is second to none.

But her personal views are her own, and are definitely not shared by Tennis Australia. Like the WTA, we believe that everyone should be treated equally and fairly. We concur wholeheartedly with the WTA who stated that “all human beings, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or otherwise, should be treated equally.

This is a fundamental right and principle, including within the world of sport. Anyone advocating otherwise is advocating against fundamental and essential rights.”

TA does not support any view that contravenes these basic human rights. http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/...330966849.html
