If starting her season after AO means that she can have an injury-free season ... Go for it, I would say. How many top players have injuries at the end of their season? How many injuries did Kirsten have this year by not playing AO this year? Make the count and you will agree with Kirsten her decision. I don't always understand or agree with her decisions wether or not to play a tournament but I understand and agree on this one.

Starting your season in February doesn't guarantee an injury-free season! What makes you think so? Just because Kirsten had an injury-free season doesn't mean that she will have an injury-free career if she doesn't bother going to Oz every year! She might skip the Australian Open next year and get a serious injury in Antwerp

You are absolutly right. I've expressed myself wrong, I've meant the tiredness that caused the illnesses and injuries. Of course starting your season after AO or even starting in march doesn't give anyone a garantee of an injury-free season. Starting after AO does give her extra time to prepare for the new season. Anyway, everybody has his or her own opinion.

Didn't I say I understood her on this one?
