Ana Ivanovic has been forced to withdraw from the Pilot Pen Tennis in New Haven due to the ankle injury she sustained in Cincinnati last week.

"I'm really disappointed to be withdrawing. I'd been looking forward to playing in New Haven ever since I had my wild card request accepted. I've really enjoyed being here the past few days: it's a beautiful city, and feels very European to me.

"Unfortunately my ankle isn't going to be ready in time for the tournament. I practiced for the first time on Thursday, but today when I went on court, I felt that it was getting worse and I was feeling a lot of pain. There is just no way I will be ready for the tournament.

"It's a real shame. I hope to be back here in the future. I'd like to thank the tournament director Anne Worcester and her team for all the generous hospitality they have shown me this week.

"Right now I am quite down, but I believe I will be ready for the US Open. I had a similar injury two years ago in Doha and I recovered within a week. Now I just have to be patient and wait for the pain to go away. I am confident it will be fine for New York."
