‘My body has not recovered’: Barty out of Indian Wells, Miami | samphillips06
Barty has not played since winning her maiden Australian Open crown in January, but doesn’t yet believe her body is ready for the rigours of the WTA tour.“I wanted to share an update on my schedule for the coming months,” Barty said in a statement on Friday.
“Unfortunately, my body has not recovered the way I’d hoped after the Australian Open and I have not been able to adequately prepare for Indian Wells and Miami.“I don’t believe I am at the level necessary to win these events and as a result I have decided to withdraw from both tournaments. “I love these events and am sad not to be there competing but getting my body right must be my focus.”
Barty will now reset her sights on the Billie Jean King Cup in April, where she will lead Australia in a home tie.Advertisement
