Former French Open semifinalist Nadia Podoroska has withdrawn from the Australian Open in order to fully heal her body after struggling with multiple injuries in the past year.
Former world No. 36 Nadia Podoroska has announced that she will not play at the Australian Open. Podoroska, now ranked at No. 84 in the world, ended her 2021 prematurely as he last appearance in 2021 came at the US Open. Podoroska was hoping to be ready for the start of 2021 but decided to take more time after speaking with her team.
On the decision she said:
"I'm sorry to announce my withdrawal from the Australian Open due to the physical problems that I struggled with throughout this last season. Although in this time I learned to coexist and compete with pain, the recovery process to heal my body definitely takes more time."
She further said:
"That is why together with my Tennis Positivo team we decided not to
compete again until March 2022. At the moment I'm leaving for
Alicante, where I will continue with my rehabilitation to be 100% again
when the time comes to return to the field. I feel fine, accompanied by the people I love and by a team of
professionals who seek the best for my career and my health. Thanks to
each of those people and to you for always being with me."

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
