Illness has knocked Australia's top-ranked woman out of next month's Australian Open. Samantha Stosur, ranked No. 46, will miss the Melbourne major as she continues her recovery from illness.
The 23-year-old Stosur was hospitalized in Florida in September after being diagnosed with viral meningitis.
She also contracted an unrelated virus in July that forced her withdrawal from the Fed Cup tie between Australia and the Ukraine and ruined her U.S. summer circuit. She resumed training three weeks ago and is not ready to rejoin the Tour.
Stosur will also miss her home tournament, the Australian Women's Hardcourts on the Gold Coast, as well as the Australian Open, which starts on January 14.
