Roddick retired, so he's not exactly withdrawing. Unless we also put:
5. Clijsters (yay)
Also, and I'm sorry for the despair this will bring here:
6. Dokic

Yeah but Roddick was entered automatically because he's still on the rankings, and also #1 in my heart/pants.

Dokic did bring me despair anyway although we may be the only ones, janie!  Also, I love #1 in my pants and will use this in the future.  Thanks, Hurley! |

I don't know.  Meanwhile, Pennetta is the latest to withdraw, to the delight of Plis-sis fans everywhere: The Australian Open has seen another withdrawal on the women's side with former top 10 player Flavia Pennetta pullinng out of the first grand slam event of the 2013 season.
Pennetta has not played since undergoing wrist surgery in August and said she has not recovered enough to play in Melbourne. She now plans to return to the circuit in February.
Speaking to Oktennis, Pennetta commented, “I do not want to risk hurting it early in the year. I thought I would be ready for Melbourne, but I plan to return in Bogota in early February.”
Pennetta is the sixth player to withdraw from the women's field. Her place in the draw will be taken by Krystina Pliskova, who joins her twin sister Karolina in the main draw now. |

Where's that article from? It's...not right.
(Kristyna Pliskova was a direct entry prior to any withdrawals. Karolina got in thanks to whoever withdrew before Pennetta. Pennetta's w/d lets Cepelova in. Next in are Marino (using her protected ranking), Cohen and Ondraskova (using her protected ranking). Wow, getting down to players who'd be walking BYEs in qualies already.

Marino gets a protected ranking? Hrmph.
Rafa with gastroenteritis after not playing for a while. Steroids.

I'm not shocked he isn't playing. I didn't really think he would. Rafa rarely sets himself up for failure and coming off six months of inactivity, playing Australia would be doing that.
Instead, he plans to launch his season on clay in Acapulco which makes way more sense to me.
Or he plans to fucking retire and he's just drawing it out. Who knows.

When the hell was Pennetta in the top ten, btw? I don't recall that.

Around the USO match where Bepa tore off all of her bandages and flooded NYC with her tears.

A classic match, to be sure. 6 MPs saved, or was it 7?

She deserved top ten status for that one.
