Tammy's ranking is going to PLUMMET after this week...it looks like Kimiko's will take a hit too.

[KLhdfskja]

Shahar Peer tweeted yesterday that she is out from Linz and for the rest of the year with a stress fracture. I think she said it was her back but I was on my way out and couldn't write it down.

Simona Halep has withdrawn from Linz also.

Petra Kvitova posted on her Facebook page that she will play Linz.
Link is in Czech.

[FelixQY]

Anyone know if this is the same issue she was having around US Open time?

Not sure but she didn't play Tokyo because of a knee injury. She had a MTO during the final but it didn't seem to bother her during the match after she had it tape.

EDIT : her presser http://www.asapsports.com/show_interview.php?id=75047


. How bad was your injury on the knee? How did you make it to come back in the second set?
ANDREA PETKOVIC: It was nothing serious. I injured my knee in Cincinnati this year, and I had surgery three years ago on the right knew, so it's a weak point.
I took some days off after the US Open to get it back in shape again and I thought it was fine. Actually it is fine. I didn't feel anything. It's just blocked some times, and it blocked the 4-3. So I was really scared, and it was kind of a scary moment for me.
But everything was fine. After three or four minutes I realized that everything was fine. I was just really scared in this moment that something might have happened. But it was fine.
