SI.Com Twitter,
Official Jo-Wilfred Tsonga pulls out of the Australian Open with a forearm injury.

That's sad because he showed last year in Toronto he can still beat top players. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Another guy made of glass it seems with quite a few injuries in a short period of time. He's like Monfils already early in his career which isn't good. Even if he plays the AO so he's likely to lose early. Very disappointing.

Sad to see all the injuries going on, but the Australian Open is my favorite Grand Slam of the year. Only five more days!

Winners
Men: Djokovic (mind-pick) Berdych (heart-pick)
Women: Sharapova (mind-pick) Kvitova (heart-pick)

Sad to se this happening, but I already mentioned it not once, not a good sign to have all kind of injuries at 18. I hope I am wrong, but I really doubt he will have a great career, because of these issues.
One thing is to have a back injury not healed , but in a matter of 3 sets he has collected now a knee injury?

There were rumors around that Nick suffered 'stress fractures in his back',his camp denied it.He was having 3 physio sessions on his back every day,just so he could play at Apia International,the injury is to his left knee.

Disasterous :nono Was looking forward to seeing him in action again rested and hungry to prove himself at home but seems it won't be happening now.

I did not know that shacking up with Azrenka is injurious to health. :lolz: After all that is the only thing he did in the last few months.:heart:

Further update regarding Nick Kyrgios,,,Nick has pulled out of the doubles,apparently he is heading to the Australian Open,his coach Larkham is confident even with these niggling injuries he can still play at the Australian Open.

^ Playing with a bad knee and back is totally dense :nono May end up jeopardizing his whole season if he does.
