Amelie Mauresmo withdraws from Tournament
Amilie Mauresmo of France was forced to withdraw from the tournament just an hour before before her quarterfinal match against Fabiola Zuluaga. She injured her back in her previous match against Alicia Molik and the injury worsened as she practiced prior to today's match. "When I hit some shots I can feel really strong pain," she explained tearfully. "The other thing is it could get worse if I play. The best thing to so is to rest."
