The second-ranked Russian’s withdrawal ensures that Caroline Wozniacki will finish the year with the No. 1 ranking, despite losing her group-stage match against Russia’s Vera Zvonareva. Sharapova entered the tournament after sitting out since withdrawing in the quarterfinals in Tokyo last month because of an ankle injury. After losing 7-6 (4), 6-4 to Li Na in her second round-robin match Wednesday, Sharapova said “the ankle didn’t recover as well as I had hoped after the first round.” Sharapova lost to Sam Stosur in her opening match on Tuesday. “The swelling got a little worse,” the second-ranked Russian said. “It just limits my movement a lot, and it’s not something I really want to risk, especially at the end of the season, knowing that I have some time to recover and let it heal naturally instead of really pushing it and damaging something else.” The Russian will be replaced by alternate Marion Bartoli of France, who will face Victoria Azarenka of Belarus in the final group round. Azarenka maintained her perfect record against Sam Stosur with a 6-2, 6-2 win earlier Wednesday. Wozniacki fell to 1-1 in the round-robin phase after losing 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 against Zvonareva in the late match. Even with the loss, she will finish at No. 1 in the rankings for the second year in a row, despite never having won a major. Sharapova was the only player with a chance to overtake the Dane going into the tournament. “It’s amazing for me to finish the year as No. 1 once more,” Wozniacki said. “I mean, only very few players have finished a year as No. 1, and to do it two years in a row is very special. I’m only in the beginning of my career, and to have achieved so much already, it’s a dream come true.” Sharapova led 4-2 in the first set before Li broke back to force the tiebreaker, where the Russian let a 4-0 lead slip away. Li then took a 5-2 lead in the second and served out the match on her second attempt. Sharapova said she expects to return to the court in Brisbane next year ahead of the Australian Open. “Obviously disappointing to end it this way,” the Russian said about her season. “But I have no regrets. … I definitely progressed from last year and I’ve improved, and my game has stepped up. I still feel like going into next year there’s so many things that I can improve that can make me better. It’s just something I look forward to when I start training again.” -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.93.35.33
