New York: Two-time US Open runner-up Victoria Azarenka confirmed her withdrawal from the tournament on Monday amid a custody battle concerning her eight-month-old son.
Azarenka, who signalled last week she may miss the tournament rather than travel to New York without her son Leo, confirmed her withdrawal in a statement.
“I am sadly unable to compete in this year’s US Open due to my ongoing family situation that I am working through,” the Belarus star said.
“While I will dearly miss being in New York and playing in one of my favorite tournaments where I have enjoyed some of the best moments in my career, I am already looking forward to being back next year.”
The Belarusian reached the final in 2012 and 2013 where she was beaten by Serena Williams on both occasions. AFP
