German No.3 Andrea Petkovic has been forced to withdraw from The Championships 2012 due to a continuing right ankle injury.
"Unfortunately, I will not be able to return in time for Wimbledon this year," Petkovic commented. "While this is another setback in my return, I will continue to work hard on getting back on court as soon as possible."
The German, who reached a career-high ranking of world No.9 in October 2011, reached three Grand Slam quarter-finals last year, at the Australian Open, French Open and US Open, and the third round at The Championships.

'Strong is beautiful' campaign is an absolute failure. Good that the pictures include names, otherwise I wouldn't be able to recognize 70% of the players as they do not look like themselves at all.
What is the message supposed to be here? You need to be photoshoped and look like a fake doll in order to be a female athlete?
