Ranked 207 in the world, Canada's Aleksandra Wozniak will be forced to pull out of the initial few tournaments of the 2011 tennis season including the Australian Open due to an undisclosed health issue.
According to Tennis Canada, Wozniak will meet with the media in the month of December hopefully providing information regarding her injury.
In a recent press release, the Canadian professional exclaimed, “I am a tennis player, the sport is my passion and I am at my best on a tennis court so I am very anxious to get back once and for all in full health.”
Additionally, Wozniak said that her training period had been going fairly well prior to her recent health issue.
Wozniak hampered an injury termed as Tendinitis as she was knocked out of the 2010 U.S. Open Women's singles category upon losing to Sally Peers of Australia. The match lasted 48 minutes and Peers advanced to next round based on her 6-0, 6-1 win.
Aleksandra is the 4th highest ranked Canadian tennis player of all time. The professional has won seven International Tennis Federation titles apart from being the only Quebecer to have won a Women's Tennis Association tournament.
In the year 2010, Wozniak failed to make it past the first round of the Australian Open in the Women's singles draw. Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki thrashed Aleksandra 6-4 and 6-2 in straight sets to send her home.
Seeded no. 5 at the 2010 French Open, Russia's Elena Dementieva defeated Wozniak to advance at the championship. Aleksandra got off to a good start taking the first set 7-6. However, that seemed to have been all she had to offer as Dementieva took the second
set 6-3 and the third set 6-4.
Additionally, apart from losing to Sally Peers of Australia in the first round of the 2010 U.S. Open, Wozniak faced defeat at the hands of Serbia's Jelena Jankovic in the second round of the 2010 Wimbledon championship. The Canadian won the first set 6-4 but
lost the second set 2-6 and the deciding third set 4-6 to be knocked out of the tournament.
