Barbora, 29, who emerged as a surprise winner at the All England Club last year, sustained the injury during the WTA Tour's Asian swing of tournaments and seemed to be affected by it at the season-ending WTA Finals in Riyadh in November. "It's disappointing because I love playing in Melbourne and have such great memories from reaching the quarter-finals last year," said the Czech tennis player. The Australian Open will run from Jan 12-26.
