Williams injury leaves Open up for grabs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Melbourne,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jan 12 (AFP) Tennis fans could hardly haveguessed that when Serena Williams cut her foot in a Munichrestaurant last August,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the race for the 2011 Australian Openwould be thrown wide open.
Serena has towered over the Australian Open in recenttimes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], winning four of the past six titles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including the lasttwo in a row.
But complications to her foot injury have meant Serenawill not be making the trip to Melbourne this year and thetask of picking a potential winner has suddenly become muchtougher,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The early favourite is US Open champion Kim Clijsters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],who arrived in Australia last week with her family in tow andbrimming with confidence.
The Belgian world number three underlined her credentialswhen she beat the top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki in the finalof the year-end championships in Doha in November.
"I kind of wished that the season wasn''t over yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], afterthe championships last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because I was hitting the ball sowell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Clijsters said.
"But I feel good (again now). I feel like I''m hitting theball well and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], injury-wise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there''s no problems and that''sobviously a big key here in Australia -- being fit enough toplay these matches."
Clijsters showed she had not lost any of her 2010 formwhen she downed Wozniacki in an exhibition in Thailand at thestart of the year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The 27-year-old Belgian will also be desperate to atonefor 2010, when she entered the Australian Open as one of thehot favourites but crashed out in the third round to NadiaPetrova 6-0,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 6-1 in one of the most-lopsided matches of thetournament.
Denmark''s Wozniacki ended the year as the women''s worldnumber one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reaching the peak of the game without having won aGrand Slam.
The 20-year-old Dane is the youngest year-end number onesince Martina Hingis in 2000, but this week''s second-roundSydney International loss has not helped convince critics sheis worthy of the top ranking. (MORE) AFP SNK
